Ambulando

my trip got a huge blow yesterday!
The agency in Singapore told me that all the passenger service are suspended from Singapore. The only other way to get to Australia by boat it is to embark in China or South Corea or Taiwan.

It means at the end it could not be possible for me to arrive to Australia by boat, de facto making impossible the scope of ths trip: to Australia with no flying.

There could be three possible scenarios:
a. miss the other parts of Asia and wait in China till the next boat: still my ultimate goal will be reached but I will miss all the fun of it…
b. still making the Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand but coming back straight after; Australia can wait for another boat in another future.
c. coming back now, and getting again on the road as soon as the passenger service is restored, but next time starting the trip from China.

Besides this, I am also struggling to find a train ticket to Shanghai and Hong Kong. It seems the train tickects can be purchased 15 days before the trip, before they got sold out.
I spent too much time having fun around Beijing to think about this, so now I have to rush and try to get to Hong Kong for my flight to Italy on the 16th of June.

Kindly, two CSers are helping me.

In the meantime I am discovering a part of Beijing I missed last time. More as soon as I have the tickets.

Wish me good luck!
