There it was, my solo adventure in China was coming to an end as I was about to join the Dragoman truck the next day. First had to pick up my visa and get to Xi’an though... Didn’t really have a lot of time in the morning to do that as my train to Xi’an was leaving at 12.50.

So you are overlanding with Dragoman...
I've read the blogs of others who have done it this way...along the Silk Road, around Africa, and South America.

When I check prices, they seem OK, but nothing about how much the kitty is, which as you say can really add to the price. I like a bit more certainty on that. So your blogs about your travels with them will help as I decide whether it is a good way to travel. My most likely overland will be from Nairobi to Cape Town. You mentioned Beijing as your final stop which isn't that far...overnight on a train. What tour are you taking?
