Round the World

!

This is my first blog entry of many I hope. Having never done a blog, or actually know what one is. I thought I’d better get with it. Unfortunatly as technical as i like to think i am, I had to get the help form my 15 year old nephew to figure out what to do. I think thats a sign that I’m getting old! Anyway this is my first attempt. The map shown above is the route I’ll be roughly taking.

The good thing about the trip is I can be totally flexible and can change when and where I want to be, (that is as flexible as my cash will let me). Knowing my money sense I figure by china ill be on the streets in my sleeping bag.

Problems arisen so far

Applied for visa to china - then was told, (after I had sent the money and postage off) that I could not apply for a visa until 6 weeks before I travel there. Many thanks to travelmood for not picking that one up. Fortunately I understand there is a Chinese consulate in Adelaide, Australia where i can apply.
