Planning Progress Report

The plans for our trip are progressing well, today we received our Russian Visas, possible the most difficult part of our travel arrangements but we have helped the Russian Balance of Payments - $110 each!

Before flying in to Moscow we are going to spend four nights in Copenhagen and after St Petersburg we travel to Helsinki for three nights then by ferry to Tallinn in Estonia for two night and on to Stockholm for five nights.

From Stockholm we travel for four days on a 135 year old boat along the rivers and Lakes to Gothenburg were we will spend three night before flying to Edinburgh for three nights.

After Edinburgh we have twenty days and night to plan before we arrive in London for three nights. We have purchased tickets to the Hampton Court Flower Show and when we visited the Chelsea Flower show two years ago, many people told us that the Hampton Court show was better than Chelsea, we'll let you know in July.

Now to continue with our planning and arranging a car for three weeks to travel around Scotland and down to London.

A bit over ninety sleeps to go.
