There are less than four weeks to go before I set off on my longest ever journey; 35,973 nautical miles. Christmas and the New Year intervenes leaving little time to prepare for four months on the high seas. My childhood ambition to see the other side of the World suddenly becomes a reality and I shall celebrate my 69th birthday in New Zealand hopefully on a train journey. During the 120 night voyage, I anticipate seeing iconic wildlife in South Africa, the Sydney Opera House, the world’s greatest light show in Hong Kong, and perhaps enjoying a coffee at Raffles in Singapore.
This is a “trial blog”. The intention is to write fairly frequently to compliment a journal of the voyage and to let anyone who wishes, to know how this journey progresses.
All the best,
David.
