The Map
We’ve charted our first journey, overland from London to Shanghai in blue on the map below. The green line shows the route we are following from Shanghai home, to Cape Town. We’ve tacked a rather lengthy dogleg onto our second overland journey: Mumbai to Shanghai with a single flight, from Calcutta to Bangkok. It’s marked in red.

Hey Iain & Claire,
We were looking for your planned itinerary for this trip, what countries and such, which we swore we had seen before… but we’ve failed to find it! Think you could tip us off as to where that information is lurking?
Thanks, and we’re loving reading about your adventures as always!
Anderson & Liz
Thanks for pointing that out Anderson. We’ve updated the map and I’ve fixed the broken link to our itinerary.
