This post is for my daughter, Anna.

JST class at Bethania Lutheran School near Brisbane are about to have a geography lesson.

You can move the map about with your mouse and follow the cities.

So, here goes:

Start in London England, then go east to Dover. Here's where we catch the Ferry to France. Then, we drive across Belgium into Germany, via Frankfurt am Main and further East to the Czech Republic. The we stay at a castle near Plzen. The we go to Bratislava in Slovakia, then to Romania and Hungary and finally ending up in Bulgaria.

This is where we leave Europe and go into the 'Middle East' by going to Istanbul in Turkey. Then we drive across Turkey and go into Iran. From Iran, we go into Azerbaijan to the port of Baku. Here we get on a boat to Turkmenistan.

We drive further East through Turkmenistan and then go North to Uzbekistan. We go through Samarkand and Tashkent and go further East to Kyrgystan. Then North to Kazakhstan.

Then we go about 1500 kilometres until we get to Russia.

From the border we drive to Novosibirsk. then we take the M53 East to Lake Baikal. Around the lake to Ulan Ude.

From Ulan Ude we go down into Mongolia and then finish our journey in Ulaan Bataar in Mongolia

PHEW!
