Fancy a roadtrip to Australia?
The Oz-Bus is starting its epic journey from London all the way to the land Down Under again in February. The route will lead travellers across three continents and through 17 countries on the way.
This service is the only one that operates a hop-on / hop-off policy all the way from London to Sydney and vice versa. This way, travellers can get off at pre-arranged points and enjoy the many destinations along the way some more. These include the Taj Mahal, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Cappadocia, Kathmandu and The Himalayas and many more. Without getting off the bus and waiting for the next to come along, the trip takes approximately 92 days (depending on political, weather and road conditions... there can be delays, like breaking down or getting lost).
Although the trip costs a staggering £ 4399, all breakfasts, ferry tickets, entry fees to all National Parks visited as a group and all accommodation, which can be hotels, hostels or tents. It also includes some extra money, should flights be necessary in politically instable countries, where overland travel might not be safe. If this flight supplement is not spent, travellers get it refunded.
With this epic roadtrip, the journey really is the destination! You don't travel 92 days just to get to Sydney if you could fly there in 24 hours. No, it's all about the travelling, getting insights into local cultures, meeting new friends on the bus and having the adventure of a lifetime.
Somehow, I've got itchy feet now and I'd love to go on this trip! If you feel the same, check out
oz-bus.com for more information, a map and departure dates. Oz Bus also offers overland roadtrips through Africa, along the Hippie Trail and they are now taking bookings for their first ever London to New York trip departing in March 2010 (lasting 95 days, through Russia, Japan, Canada and 11 states of the US, including Alaska).So get travellin'!
