My Trip

On Monday May 17th 1999 I left my home in Hong Kong and the comfort of paid employment to return to England using what (I think) is the longest overland trip possible, from Singapore to London.  I travelled via Scandinavia and passed through 15 countries, travelled about 23,000km ( 14,400 miles).  I spent roughly 240 hours on trains (including 80 hours in one go) and also travelled by boat, bus and was forced to take one (internal) flight in Laos.  I reached England and unemployment on August 30th.
