OK, what's new? We have received Holger's and Lucas' new passports, so next we will be
able to apply for our Indian and Chinese visas. We will be travelling as
Canadians.
We have been working on our itinerary in more details. For each country, we are planning on booking at least the first night accommodation, since we often will be arriving late in the day. China is proving to be quite the nightmare... October 1-7 is National Holiday week, very busy and expensive... but we can't buy train tickets until 20 days before travel time. In Shanghai, we will be going to the World Expo 2010. Last time we visited one was in Hannover in 2000 with Mumu, before Lucas was born!
So far, I have booked a guesthouse in Costa Rica, Tacacori Ecolodge (www.tacacori.com), run by a French couple. In Lima, Peru, we will stay at the Angels Inn Backpackers (www.theangelsinnperu.com)for 3 nights before flying to Cusco. In Moorea, we are going to be staying at Fare Miti (www.mooreafaremiti.com), and do nothing! In Delhi, we will be at the Nirvana Hostel...
Oh, and we took trip/ health insurance for the 6 months...
That's all for now.
