Departure!

So, it's the evening before I'm off. Finally! I've been waiting for this for seven months! I can't believe how fast the last weeks have passed. 

My backpack is all stuffed with everything from a down-jacket and wooly underwear to flip-flops and sunglasses. I think I've remembered all the vital stuff anyways! 

The whole trip almost went down the drain, because the Indian embassy used such a long time to make my transit-visa, and Dragoman who I'm travelling with needed a copy of my passport to make the Chinese visa, and of course I didn't get my passport back until the very last day it was possible to fix the Chinese visa. But luckily it arrived and I e-mailed it off 30 mins before it was too late! I was quite stressed out so to say. So now I hope all my bad luck has been used up for the rest of the trip! 

Well, time for bed. I have to get up at 5.15 tomorrow... Good night!
