South America to Asia or reverse - Following Weather
I’m planning a 6 mo. trip beginning in mid Jan 2019 and would appreciate some advice or comments on routing. Initially we (2 up) planned to leave from Vancouver and ride south through the Western US to Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica to Panama then ship the bikes to Columbia and head south. The next leg would have us ship the bike to Australia or Singapore then riding up through Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam (not necessarily in that order). My question is there any advantage to reversing the order - Asia first then up through South America & Central America ? We don’t mind rain - we live in a rain forest already - but a couple of weeks of straight downpours can be a bit testy ??. Good weather is certainly an issue but are there other advantages to starting in Asia first then up through South America ?? Your comments are appreciated.
