As much as we have always said we don't want our odyssey constrained by any kind of plans, you have to have a rough travel plan, and for this voyage we will start in London & end some time in the future in Sydney. We hope to spend time on this voyage visiting as many places passing between the UK down to the Med and then onto the Canaries, Cape Verde islands, Brazil, Caribbean, Mexico, the United States, Canada, Polynesia, New Zealand & finally Australia.

Quite how travel plans change and you end up in places you never imagined, is nine tenths of the sheer random joy of traveling, and we shall have to see how things pan out as we go.

Sicily...

We decided to visit and stay in Sicily for the winter for a number of different reasons, it geographical location in the Mediterranean was an obvious one, but from what we had read and heard whilst doing our research had led us to believe that this beautiful island over several other locations would offer us safe harbour, in a friendly environment with plenty to do & see over the winter.
