LuganoPirateParticipantThanks Papillion, been banging my head against the proverbial wall trying to recall the Corinth Canal.
I’ve given up on wanting to do Cape to Cairo as I think it’s a bit dangerous now. Having said that, someone I know from Knysna just drove from here to Cork in about three weeks. I’m trying to get his route. I’ll content myself with a trip to Tanzania via Zim and Malawi, returning through Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia and Botswana. Well that’s one of my dreams anyway.
Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
RTW with one of the Queens. Mary, Victoria or Elzabeth that is, the full 120 day Monty!
