East to West about the same time
Hi Lundon,
I have similar plans but leaving late Feb / early March to keep ahead of the Asian monsoon season ( I hope ! ), and plan to be away until the European Winter sets-in. Shipping from Darwin.
Initial route included China ( as been there a few times ) but as you said maybe too much hassle just yet, Vietnam is similar. SE Asia for 3 months, then rest of route is the lower Himalayas from Dhakar, Nepal, Pakistan, Iran, north Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Turkey, West Greece then keep heading West. Too many interesting places to miss this route, maybe do the Northern 'Stans run on the way back ??
Would be great to keep in touch though, as Oz-out seems to be the opposite direction to most of the plans, and we get lucky regards transit / tourist visia's too.
Cheers, keep in touch and enjoy the ride !
Frank.
