And finally,

It would have helped if I had labelled the illustrations I have just posted. This I will attempt in due course. In the meantime, I enclose a very brief idea; the first picture was taken during a safari on the Garden Route between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Plettenberg Bay forms the second picture. We move on to La Reunion (QM2) then my first sighting of Australia, Fremantle and Kings Park looking towards Perth. The Kangaroos are in Cleland Wildlife Park, Adelaide; we move to scenes around Canberra and then Sydney. We travel through the Sounds (fjords) of New Zealand’s South Island, Dunedin, Tauranga, back to Sydney. Singapore and Hong Kong are shown, Penang, and a couple of locomotives, I think on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. (I shall need to check that)

Also shown, Penang, The Lost City of Petra and the beach at Cadiz.

I accept that these final writings are far from satisfactory, but I hope even so, they still give some small idea of this amazing journey. Comments, of course, are welcome, and will answer any points or queries as they arise.

Very best wishes, David.
