If you are an active follower (of which there probably a handful), you might have been a bit peeved with the silence and lack of updates. That has been because I have been busy preparing for my trip.

What trip you might wonder. Well it was being researched by my brother for months now but I was not planning to join. But suddenly last month, in a fit of inspiration, I decided to join along. What we have planned for is a very, very long train journey punctuated with brief stops to stretch the sore back and legs. It is going to be very, very cold and I am definitely going to be very, very deprived of food (as I cannot figure out how I can get my hands on decent vegetarian food).

Astute readers may already figure out what trip this might be. But I will do my bit in keeping the suspense by revealing a little bit at a time.

Should I bring my NWT along? I don’t think so. The journey is going to be a lot challenging with a backpack alone and I would not want to carry my bike along. So I intend to make this a photo expedition instead – it is good to have alternate strategies

So the least I can expect at the end of the trip is a dozen or so really good pictures along with a good adventure to look back on.
