New grand voyage starts tomorrow! -Where your travel fever send you again? – joke my friends. This time to Asia and Australia. At the beginning three consecutive planes will carry me to Perth in Western Australia. A real adventure will begin there with 9-day expedition through the Nullarbor desert, where I will be sleep under the stars. Nullarbor is for me probably the last unknown region of Australia. The expedition will end in Adelaide.  Next I will fly to Brisbane to embark the ship, sailing to the islands of Papua and Solomons. When after two weeks I’ll return to Brisbane I plan to change my mode of transport to start a car trip to the hot interior of Australia. Again after 30 years I’ll see the legendary Ayers Rock. But the route of up to 8,000 km long will also cover new places and new landscapes. Just look on the map.
From Australia via Indochina I’m going on cheap Air Asia flights to the “vestibule of the Tibet” – how I call the western parts of Sichuan and Yunnan, where there is still much of Tibetan culture. An just there I expect to see those mythical Shangri-La from the “Lost Horizon” story. This will be another challenge because of the altitude excising 4,000 meters and the prevailing cold weather there. So then to stay warm I plan at the end of voyage a week’s stay on the islands scattered along the east coast of Malaysia. I should be back home in mid-March. News and photos from the voyage I will try to post in my new travel log if there will be access to the internet.
Please, keep your fingers crossed for me
