The journey is about to begin....

After several months planning, gathering of visas, new passports and a range of injections.  We are pretty much packed and ready to go.  Still need to book some accommodation in certain places and some of that will take place as we arrive at the destinations.

We begin with 5 weeks in China/Tibet (hopefully Everest Base Camp).  A flight to Paris.  Train to Venice through the Alps, cruises around Med (Cunard of course).  Romp around Italy. Relocation Cruise to Rio for Christmas and New Year.  120 odd days overland in South America through Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia.  Back to Rio.  Cruise from Sao Paulo to Lisbon.  Romp around Portugal & Spain then through Europe to Kiel, Germany.  Cruise up Norwegian fjords and into Arctic Circle and back to Kiel.  Back to Paris and fly home late June.  That's it in a nutshell. A bit of rough a bit of smooth. We are very much looking forward to the adventure that the different experiences in all these countries will bring to us.

Bring it on.....
