House is packed up, car's gone, work's already seemingly a distant memory and after 5 years in Sydney, we have once again found the urge to throw the backpacks on and explore what the world has to offer.
Our round the world adventure is now only a matter of days away and we're very much feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation as to what awaits us over the next 12 months.
Here's a high level overview of what it will entail:
Duration: 11 months (Oct 2012 - Sept 2013)
Itinerary:
- Sydney to Melbourne 13th Oct '12 (Aurelie running Melb marathon 14th Oct)
- Depart Melbourne 17th October '12
- 1 night in Dubai - 17th Oct '12
- 5 days in France (18th - 22nd Oct '12)
- 2 months in Sth America (22nd Oct - 22nd Dec)
Countries include: Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru
- 3 weeks in France for Xmas & NY (23rd Dec - 14th Jan)
- 3 1/2 months in Africa (15th Jan - 23rd Apr '13)
Countries include: Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa
23rd April: Return to France for the European summer.
Plan of attack for the european summer is still to be confirmed but the primary intentions are for Aurelie to see as much of her homeland as possible given she's now been abroad for the majority of the last 12 years, and for Shane it's pure French immersion to ensure that the goal of being 'fluent' in French is achieved!
What will definitely be included during the 4 - 5 months in Europe will be a couple of months cycling around France (our own version of the tour de France), trip to London & a wedding in Scotland.
Game on!!
