I want to do this!

I came across a website devoted to train travel in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Near the end of a very long web page there is a section marked "London to Singapore overland".

• London to Moscow by train


• Moscow to Beijing by Trans-Siberian Railway


• Beijing to Hanoi by train


• Hanoi to Saigon by train


• Saigon-Phnom Penh by bus


• Phnom Penh-Battambang by train or bus, bus to frontier, train to Bangkok


• Bangkok to Singapore by train

To do this would take several thousand pounds and 3-1/2 weeks (at least). But, I want! This sounds like the most fantastic trip imaginable.

Alas, it's unlikely I will ever be able to do this. However, the trip of a lifetime would be fantastic. Do go to the website if you're a train or transport buff.

I think I'll give that a miss; it sounds pretty dire. If I were younger and more adventurous, perhaps.

How are you? Haven't seen you online for ages!

Been hatching various plots on how I can visit North Korea - legally and without threat of detention!

I'm not young but I still feel somewhat adventurous.

I've been excellently enjoying my transition to middle age - my weight is not going down and I am looking at various options for wigs. Career and relationship are going firm.

So have you thought of when you will embark on this trip?

What do you mean you're not young? You're still young.

I probably won't embark on this trip, unfortunately, as I don't have the cash. But it's nice to dream, isn't it?
