Overland segment from Black Sea to Baltic Sea complete!

This is not a full map, but a rough sketch of the 4,000 km all-rail overland journey we just completed from the Black Sea port of Odessa up the Potemkin steps one month ago, to just yesterday climbing the steps overlooking the Baltic Sea towards our next stop in Finland.

If we break up the whole planned itinerary (from Selcuk to Singapore) into purely overland (strictly not oversea or by air, but by rail) segments, the first was in India, the second within Turkey, and this third one cutting through Eastern Europe as shown on the map. The next all-rail segment should hopefully be continuous from Helsinki to Ho Chi Minh city, part of the longest rail journey in the world that I am greatly looking forward to.

Hopefully this will help me revive this personal blog a bit as well as a place to post maps, short quips and pics for friends more than just the professional essays emphasized on my other one...
