Nottingham to New Zealand (NG2NZ) overland – an introduction

Well hello dear reader…how are you? It’s been seven months since I last posted from the wilds of the Canadian Arctic and the North West Passage.

I wasn’t going to blog again but circumstances have changed my mind.

So…this blog will be an ad-hoc blog wrapping up a few days at a time rather than the usual daily blog…which takes up so much time.

Unlike other long trips on this website, I will be travelling overland a few weeks at a time then returning home for a while then going back to start the next sector and so on until I eventually arrive in New Zealand in a couple of years.

Over Christmas I travelled around the Iberian Peninsula (Sector 1) and in February travelled the next part to Vienna and Montenegro (Sector 2). I am now about to start the Eastern Europe sector from Vienna to Istanbul by train (Sector 3).

From there, I’ll travel from Istanbul to Baku in a few months time (Sector 4). Then it will be through the Stans, down to India, Himalayan kingdoms, before travelling through Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and down through Malaysia to Singapore.

Crossing the Straits of Malacca to travel through Indonesia and then on to Darwin for the Ghan train through Australia to Adelaide, and the India Pacific train between Perth and Sydney. A brief foray to Tasmania before reaching the final destination…New Zealand.

Might do Pacific Islands back to USA and make it an around the world trip…again.

If you do not want these random mutterings simply unsubscribe from the blog post emails, not a problem.

And remember, life is too short…so go out there and…

Explore…

Dream…

Discover

I hope you enjoy travelling with me.

    Looking forward to it! Especially interested in how you find Cambodai and Vietnam, which we enjoyed visiting this time last year. Also the Stans. On our list of places to go to. Is it safe at the moment? No doubt you’ll let us know …….

    Are you missing Sabah?
    You should go from Malacca to Kuching, Sarawak, then up through Sabah to Sandakan, then do a river cruise along the Kinabatagan river then down to Tawau, cross to Indonesia (Kalimantan) to the new capital, Nusantara and then to Java. Travel by rail in Java then fly to Aus.
