London to Australia
Well life changes and so do plans...so it seems that my mate (on ktm 990) and me (on dr 800) are setting off to go from london to australia starting around early october.
There is quite a bit of info that we will need and we are creating a trip blog etc to update everyone on the latest, but would appreciate any info on the following key (at the moment) questions:
1. shipping options...have read about kathmandu to bangkok but also a cheaper option of dhaka to bangkok (someone stated $0.8c per kg and no crating needed)
2. what about shipping to vietnam, laos or cambodia...we'd like to see a bit more of se asia, so an option is to ship to bangkok and then ride up but would prefer to ride downwards if that makes sense
3. we will want to avoid singapore and make our way to malaysia then indonesia, through east timor to australia...again i guess it will be freight/ferry where possible but would appreciate any pointers
4. generally any info on places to sleep, see, eat or avoid would be great for all those countries or if anyone can point us to blogs (im searching on a daily basis)
5. finally time of year....we aim to be in darwin mid december at latest..
thanks in advance for any help
