Round the world itinerary |
|
| Our primary means of travel is
by
plane, with a round the
world (RTW) airline
ticket. We will
complement this
with some internal flights, plus trips on
trains, buses and
taxis. We will travel to 5 continents or regions (Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and finally North America). We will cross the equator twice and the International Date Line once! Our aim was to visit as many of the wonders of the world during our trip that we haven't seen to date, whilst carefully selecting countries on our itinerary, considering we're travelling with young children. Here some of the antique, mythical or outstanding natural sites that structured our itinerary: Jordan - Petra and the Dead Sea Thailand - Temples at Chiang Mai and Islands such as Koh Phiphi Cambodia - Angkor Australia - Ayers Rock and the Barrier Reef French Polynesia - Island of Bora Bora and the Touamotus Islands Easter Island - Moai statues Peru - Machu Picchu, the Nazca Lines and Lake Titicaca U.S. - National Parks including Yosemite, Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Arches and Monument Valley Here's a high level overview of our flights: Geneva -> Amman: 31 December Amman -> Bangkok: 8 January Bangkok -> Sydney: 6-7 February Cairns -> Alice Springs: 2 April Ayers Rock -> Sydney: 7 April Sydney -> Noumea: 9 April Noumea -> Papette: 24-23 April (Yes, we arrive before we leave, thanks to the date line !!) Papette -> Easter Island: 11 May Easter Island -> Santiago de Chili -> Lima: 14 May Cuzco -> Lima: 1 June Lima -> Los Angeles -> San Fransico: 2 June Phoenix -> London -> Geneva: 23-24 June Of course, that's the big plan. Only time will tell if we manage to stick to it !!!
