The Charming Perplexity Excursion
In and around World
Sarah and I go travelling to see the world! I will first be travelling out to Australia in December and Sarah will join me just in time to catch the New Year.
We will then be flying from Sydney to Singapore and making our way, by train/bus/boat/walking, up through Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam to Beijing in Northern China.
Leaving China we will fly to India for a few weeks before popping over to Sri Lanka to fully appreciate Buddha (Sarah will no doubt revel in the religion, I'll just try and put on weight and lose my hair).
After Sri Lanka Sarah will be leaving to go back to the UK, whereas I will be travelling on to Johannesburg to spend a further two months in and around South Africa.
