Woot Woot - More fun to be added to the Journey.
P and I decided to extend our stay in Zambia by a few days and have opted to travel back to Johannesburg, S.A. by bus ... on a 24 hr bus ride!
Eeeek, my butt is numb just thinking about it, but this is what the adventure is all about - Roughing it and seeing the world.
BRING IT ON!
It is also the most economical way for us to get back to SA and BONUS, we also then get travel via Zimbabwe.
Now, yes, it has not been the most stable country over the past decade, but with World Cup on the books and a massive tourism push, along with a new government in place, I am confident that we will be fine.
We have booked our transport from Livingston to Lusaka, Zambia and our transfer from Zambia to South Africa with a reputable and IATA certified safari company so again, another assurance to me that things will be fine.
Yes, it is Africa, a different world unlike anywhere else. I am prepared for anything ... I think!
I've also decided to add a few destinations to my Asia tour too.
I have always wanted to see Malaysia and have a friend in Singapore who recently mentioned that if I wanted I could stay with him if I was in town ... and I think I am gonna take him up on it.
I’ve been researching flights from Cambodia to Singapore and they are not that expensive and super short.
I’ve also been checking out routes back up to Bangkok, since that’s where my departure flight is at the end of September and it would appear that I can take a train all the way from Singapore, stopping in Kuala Lumpur & Penang before heading back to Bangkok.
And BOOYA, its retarded cheap, safe and comfy and environmentally-friendly.
Its just keeps getting better and better.
4 months to go – I CANNOT WAIT!
P.S Just read this and am even more stoked:
It's easy to travel from Bangkok to Chiang Mai by train, for just 781 baht (£11 or $19) one-way by overnight sleeper or 511 baht (£7.50 or $13) by day through the countryside on the air-conditioned express railcar. Travelling from Bangkok to Chiang Mai by sleeper is effectively faster than flying, less hassle, far more environmentally friendly, more of a real Thai experience, and saves you a hotel bill, too. The scenery on the last third of the trip up into the mountains approaching Chiang Mai is particularly good, and even on the sleeper, watching the sunrise from the train in the morning is a great experience.
