Booking Trains with the Germans and Chinese Visa Issues

The 90 day deadline before we depart London has been reached and we have therefore been able to book the trains for our journey to Russia.

After much research on an increasingly overheating laptop, we booked our tickets through the Deutsche Bahn website - incredibly easy, much cheaper and, as you would expect with Germans, very efficient! 

We leave London St Pancras on the Eurostar departing at 10:57.  This means arriving at the station just before 9.00am to check in and is much more preferable to hanging around all day like excited puppies, eager to be on our way!
