Hi Friends,
After our recent north cape trip Ilona and I are looking fow a new
adventure.
Ilona and I always wanted to go to Australia and we are now wondering if
we could do that in our own Europa. We suddenly realised that my son
will graduate next year and now he is still living at home and yet old
enough to carry some responsibility to take care of our house, webshop
and animals, this might be a convenient moment to undertake such a journey.
We haven't been doing more yet than looking at the world globe and
seeing that technically it should be possible.
Before putting some time in it and then discovering that some countries
would be unsolvable obstacles, I think it may be faster to ask for info
on this list. I remember having seen some references to such a trip or
the preparations for it, if this is correct it would be very valuable to
learn from it.
First questions that come to mind are: What time of year would be best
for such a trip? I'm aware of the mosson-rain in some countries, but is
the whole period unsuitable for flying? What about the middle-east and
aziatic countries, is General Aviation possible? Do they tolerate home
built airplanes? How much bureaucrazy is involved and how much time is
needed to get the necessary permissions?
Any info for this wild idea is welcome, either positive or negative.
Thanks,
Frans
