Got my bike out of Customs - phewww. Booked ferry for this Sun 15th to Vlad. Then 2 nights in Vlad - then off to Khabarovsk.
Not sure about access to www on this part.

Here's an account of my trip thus far - still the beginning ...

I'll see you on the road.
Cheers
Hi Dukdukman,

Can you please tell me which ferry company did you use? i'm considering travelling via Korea instead of Japan.

Thanks and safe travel

Franco,
I used DSB.
This is a Japanese Company basically sailing a triangle from Japan (can't remember the name of the port, starts with a, 'S') to Donghae and on to Vladivostok.
I double-checked for alternatives but was repeatedly told this is the one and only option from Korea to Vlad. It's ro-ro, and customs in Dongahe and in Vlad were pretty efficient and gentle.
I am in Vlad now. Arrived yesterday arvo, got bike back today noon

Leaving Vladivostok tomorrow morning en route to Khabarovsk. Will break the ~ 800 km journey in half. Wouldn't wanna ride the entire route in one day. Don't know (yet) about road conditions. Can tell more tomorrow night ...

Actually, it is a Korean company (not that it matters to travelers). The port it serves in Japan is Sakaiminato.

Yep, alone, however there are several travellers en route west and it is easy to join up. Hope to join tomorrow at Khabarovsk with Mario, another Aussie/German guy

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
