Because of my family and friends who can't speak Norwegian, I'll try to write some in English too.
Everything is ready for the trip to Asia. We have taken vaccines, visas are applied and we have read a little about the countries we want to see.
We have schedueld the first part of the journey. Marc 29th we take the plain from Oslo to Moscow, where we will spend one night. We have booked a guided tour so we'll see some of Moscow, Kremel and cathedrals. There is also little time for shopping if needed. 30th of March we get on the train and our trip to Beijing. The train takes 6 days. We don't have the opportunity to get off the train, just when it stops to let off/take on passengers.
The railway runs from the Urals and Siberia. On the night between day 2 and 3, we pass the border between Europe and Asia and during the evening we pass Novosibirsk, which is the capital of Siberia. Day 4 we pass Irkuts and Lake Baikal, and toward the evening we pass the border between Russia and Mongolia, with strict border controls. Day 5 we pass Ulaan Baatar which is the capital of Mongolia, during the evening we drive into China, a new strict border control and the shifting of the undercarriage of the train because of different gauge.
In China we have booked 4 nights at a hotel near The Forbidden City so we have to go there. The Great Wall is not far away so hope we get the opportunity to take a trip there also.
After this, we have not made any plans except to see and experience a lot and enjoy ourselves
