Visas are done, trip kit purchased, stuff packed into panniers and top box.

The visas were pretty straightforward especially those for Mongolia and Kazakhstan. The Russian one took a little longer as I need a multiple entry but some friends in Moscow took care of the official invitation which then had to be sent by courier from Moscow to London.

I was going to visit Azerbaijan too, but after I watched Eurovision I decided it was unneccesary.

So, up in the morning, motorcycling adventure begins....
