Welcome guys to my blog of my travels!! I hope you enjoy following my adventures and I will try to write in full english (living and working in south london has severely comprimised my spoken english, much to the disappointment of my parents!).
To get you started I will outline where I am planning on going so you have some vague idea of what I am writing about! I will be travelling with two other people (Charlotte and Ed) whom I did my nurse training with. Our first stop will be New Delhi in India. We spend a few nights here before travelling around north India (golden triangle and a little bit beyond) for 2 weeks. We end up back in New Delhi at the end of the two weeks to then fly to Kathmandu in Nepal.
In Nepal, we will spend 2 weeks. We are joining a group tour whilst we are there to travel around Kathmandu, local towns, to do a 4 day trek in the Himalayas. We will also go to their national wildlife park. After 2 weeks of Nepal we head to Thailand, flying into Bangkok.
Here we spend one day before doing a tour of the northern part of Thailand, entering the Northern hilltribes of Thailand and an elephant Conservation. We finish the northern part of our tour back in Bangkok, where I reakon we shall meander around checking out the local things for a few days. We then will head to the south of Thailand to hit the beaches!Overall we aim to spend around 3 1/2 weeks in the we should be travelling overland through Laos and Vietnam into Hong Kong.
From Hong Kong we shall be heading inland into China visiting the Yangtze River and Gorges and the terracotta army, to Shanghai and Beijing. We then will fly to Melbourne, Australia, having spent around 4 weeks in China. Our aim in Australia is to spend 2 months travelling up from Melbourne on the trains up the east coast, up to Cairns. I intend on hitting the surfing school whilst there, check out the hotties, plus do some windsurfing! From Cairns we fly to Alice springs and do a little tour of the outback before going up to Darwin in the northern territory.
Having dillydallied around Australia we fly to New Zealand where we shall pick up a Campervan from Auckland, to drive around north and south Island at our leisure! Then we head back to the UK (supposedly!)
Well I think I have suficiently outlined the plans! I stress on the word plan, though, as I am sure as we travel around this is likely to change!
Am going to miss you all very much, but I hope when I return we will catch up and I can enlighten you all with my new experiences and some funny stories (most likely to be about my dappy moments, which occur most days!). Take care all. will write soon!
