This is me with the whole world in my hands.
On this day two years ago today me and my best friend set off on our Big Adventure - to backpack around the world for 9 months -a trip that began in Bangkok, took us on a whistle-stop spin through SE Asia, campervan tour of Australia, motoring around New Zealand, a (slightly traumatic) stop in Fiji, then on to Chile (which I'm watching on the news as I write - such moving pictures from the San Jose mine), Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.
I haven't mentioned it much here because (a) it souns a bit like gloating) and (b) this isn't a travel blog - if it was I'd have a lot more to say on the subject. I'm even considering starting an additional travel blog like my new chum L'Aussie... but how could I fit it all in?
As I always used to say: 'It's a small world - but I wouldn't like to hoover it.'
But I was wrong. It's effing ENORMOUS!
So from time to time over the next 9 months I may drop a little travel tidbit into the mix here, just to share some amazing pictures and experiences - hope regular readers are ok with that?
Meanwhile, here's a taster...
Wow! What with this and the money saving tips, this is a must-see-blog!
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if Rog is being ironic.
ReplyDeleteDave - I was thinking the same thing...
ReplyDeleteRog - are you being ironic?
No honestly! Those pics look fab and must tell a hundred stories. I'm in awe...when I tried to hitchhike round the world I got to just south of Paris.
ReplyDeleteA tempting collage, if ever I saw one...
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea & look forward to it!
ReplyDeleteI've done this too...in my mind.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I'm an 'armchair tourist'. I like to be able to make a cuppa, halfway across the Sahara, without sand blowing in my face. Bring on the stories, you can't count me in your audience.
You see how excited I am, at the prospect? I, of course, meant to say, you CAN count me in your audience.
ReplyDeleteJinksy - I may not have been to the University of Life, but I have been to a Collage of Further Edification!
ReplyDeleteRA - glad you think so... erm... which bit is a great idea - doing it here, or an additional travel-related blog?
Martin - you had me worried there for a minute!
