From the heat of the Sahara in late summer to the mountains of the Himalaya in winter, this *was* our route:
France
Switzerland
Italy
Tunisia
Libya
Egypt
Jordan
Syria
Turkey
Iran
Pakistan
India
Nepal
The sharp amongst you may have noticed that we have taken an about turn and are now reluctantly heading south.
Having spoken with the security services at the Islamabad consulate we have taken the tough decision to alter our original route. The developing situation in Pakistan has created a huge question mark with regard to our chances of being admitted to this warring nation, which when combined with a void personal insurance policy our only remaining reward looked distinctly unappetising – kidnap!
Our new route will see us head into Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe before arriving triumphantly in South Africa.
