Across Asia Trip: 1993-1994

In August 1993, I set off overland across Asia. I am in the process of typing my diary and scanning the pictures. I will be publishing this twice weekly. Click here to see the route map and satellite pictures.

After spending a year in Australia, I returned to the UK and went back to my old job of working in the film industry in London. However, I found the daily commute into London by train very tedious. I was finding it very difficult to settle down and was missing Australia. In the end, the only thing that kept me going were my plans for another trip abroad. This time I wanted to go from England to Australia by land as much as I could. I set off from Dover in August 1993. After a number of adventures, I finally arrived in Australia just over one year later.

Dolphin Watching

I had first heard about the Irrwaddy dolphins several years back but had never gotten around to going. Apparently they are seasonal and arrive in the Bang Pakong River in November, at the end of the rainy season. They then stay there a full 120 days until February. Although this had been going on for nearly five years, I could not find any mention in my edition of the Lonely Planet.
