Three friends and myself did the overland trip from Australia to UK in 1969 in a 1960 Ford Consul when it was all the rage to travel the hippie trail....those days it was safe to traverse Afghanistan..nearly 40 years later and we are still friends and still talk about THAT trip and relive it through our photos....have fun and live the experience...as we say, "adventure before dementia" .
Having traveled overland (Dover to Calais over water) from London to India through 11 countries, using Public Transport in just nine days, my advise to the travelers is go with the flow, it’s the only way to enjoy and take in the experience, 12 weeks is along time to kill even with a holiday itinerary that is planned by the ozbus.
My train journey from Kingsbury to Victoria was delayed the day I started due to signal failure in the London underground, and in 9 days we went through rough seas, heavy rain with wind, sand storm and snow blizzards.
But the most important thing to understand is that once you leave UK, THE LIFE IN THE REST OF THE WORLD IS A LOT SLOWER THEN BACK AT HOME.
Then may be I did it to raise money for children’s charity and not for a holiday.
Well written article.
