It has been a long time since last update (again.) However, I thought I’d write about me new project which is completely egotistical; vacation plans for next year.
Now why on gods green earth
Fraser Island by Michael Dawes
would I need to start planning this early ? you might ask, well my plan is to go to Australia and hike around Fraser Island (the great walk) and visit some friends. Now it has been a long while since I have done anything that can be remotely described as hiking/camping. The basics such as what equiment is needed and how to use it I’m sure will be fine. But the physical stuff of – you know – actually walking around for 7-8 days with a big backpack is something else.
How far have I’ve gotten in my planning, well I have done some research on visas’ needed and if I need immunizations and such like. And what else I might want to to while in Australia. I have not set a date, nor ordered any for of tickets yet, a bit to early for that I feel.
I also want to (if time allows) do some diving, the great barrier reef is tempting and this gets me to another point I need to get certified for diving. I am itching to go already, this might have something to do with the general lack of any serious travel in the past 2-3 years.
So I am browsing websites, reading lonely planet guidebooks and looking at pictures on flickr and everything else that can be done without actually going there (yet)
If my budget allowes I’d also like to travel to South Africa (mainly to do the bungiee jump of the bloukrans bridge, but that is a low low low priority.)
So if nothing else I have something to write about, my continued planning of said trip, my expectations and hopes (and then I can write about how those matched up when I actually have been there)
