After many months of debating (arguing), planning (scribbling on beer
mats) and compromising (me getting my way and shouting at the
others), we decided on a route.
However, being the indecisive
little monkeys that we are, the route changed quite a lot through
the course of the gap year. The route shown on this site is the
final version that we actually took.
We started in London and, not
surprisingly for a round the world ticket, we went round the
world, and back to London. Not in one flight, that would just be
silly. We did it over the course of a number of months. The
flights are detailed below:
| From... |

Christchurch (New Zealand) |

Melbourne (Australia) |

After this flight, we made our way up Australia to
the city of Cairns. Shortly afterwards, because of various
reasons, Natalie, Emily and Mark were forced to return home.
This meant that we took different flights to Bali
(full reasoning explained in my journal). Natalie & Emily then flew home, followed shortly by Mark. After that I
continued travelling around South-East Asia on my own, for the
following 4 months. The flights during the 'breaking of the
fellowship' period of time are detailed below:
