Wow,was you expecting that level of expenditure?

I was expecting 1000AUD, but thanks to one idiot, who forget forward one email, I had to pay 2000AUD. But we have a car and can hit the road as you can see

Loving following your travels both here and on mdocuk Kamil.

Stay safe, take care and be lucky.
 
I am checking on the world map trying to work out which port you shipped from to Australia.

I am seriously considering following you and Doris (my other half) just wants to go now.

I think I need a good six months planning and lots of advice from you.

The first thing is - I have a Long Wheel Base, High Roof Sprinter - In your opinion is this a suitable vehicle to attempt such an epic event?

I am aware you are using a 4x4 - did you need that capability at any time?

Is there anything you had fitted/took along which was a total waste of time and effort?

Is there anything you wish you had fitted/took and struggled without said item(s)?

Sorry to intrude on your time, hope you will be able help :)

Best regards

Hi,

You have a good car, but you will be limited in Russia and Central Asia where you can go. Locals go everywhere/even with small cars/ but they are happy to fix car after each trip, as roads are bad or non exist. We used 4x4 few times/rocky steep roads, mud, river crossings/.

We shipped from Fukuoka/JAP/.

We fitted only thing which we use/we have travelled for 17 years, so we know what we need/.

We want to fit microwave and kettle for next trip, so we can warm the food which we cook every 3-4 days.

Good luck.

BTW All news are in my Facebook page, just search for "Kamil Rezac"

We are near Perth now.
 
Wow, quite a trip from Melbourne.

Thank you for your reply, we have been actively planning a trip starting next March.

We are trying to pick roads which our van will cope with.

How does the insurance situation in different countries work?


Best regards

Derrick and Doris

You may have already come across this site may be of interest.

Might be worth considering getting a more aggressive tyre then standard, perhaps some type of All Terrain tyre. They usually cope with being "aired down" better as well.

You have to buy insurance on the border.

We have uploaded all photos from Australia which we took so far to our website. Enjoy.

We have seen "red centre of Australia" and we are in Cairns. We are uploading many photos on our website, but it will take whole weekend.

Cheers

Just watch out for drop bears. The whole northern quarter of Australia is riddled with them.

Then there are the crocodiles, tiapans, death adders, brown snakes, dengue-fever mossies, stone fish, blue ring octopus, box jellyfish, Irukandji jellyfish, great white sharks, redback spider, funnelweb spiders, ....

Enjoy
 
We are in Cairns now and we are heading to Cape York, which is the most northern point of Australia mainland. We have uploaded 12 new albums, where you can see some of the most beautiful places in Australia. Enjoy.

I have started looking through these Kamil, and they are stunning as usual. I will get through the rest during the week, as I am off camping now.

Thanks for posting!
 
Thanks.

It will sound strange, but after all, what we have seen, I still think, that UK is the one of the best countries in the world.
We are looking forward to do trip around UK in future.
