The Itinerary
I have been planning to travel across Eurasia from Ireland to Hong Kong. I will be on the road from April 4 (today) through late July or early August.
I have a commitment to be at Baku on May 14 to catch the Caspian ferry. I hope to get there by way of Ireland, the Isle of Man, Belgium, France, Corsica, Sardinia, and then cross Italy and go up the Adriatic coast before heading southeast to Istanbul. Then I'll cross Turkey and visit all three Caucasian countries (Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan) before joining my group in crossing Turkmenistan.
After Turkmenistan, I'll be in Uzbekistan for about a week visiting an old friend, and after that I hope to cross into Tajikistan and take the Pamir Highway to the Kyrgyz Republic. I'll definitely be crossing into far Western China from Kyrgyzstan.
In China, I hope to take the Silk Road route to Xian, then go to Baektusan on the North Korean border before heading south to Hong Kong by way of Shanghai. I'll fly home from Hong Kong.

You will be swinging through Yerevan, right?
Be aware that you can get here from Georgia, but you can't go directly from Yerevan to Baku -- Armenia and Azerbaijan are still at war. Very cold war, but you still can't get over that border. You have to either back up into Georgia again, or swing south through Iran.
So, please come, but plan accordingly!
You have our contact info?
