About this blog

Finally, another summer spent in the Southern Hemisphere.

Eventually I chose Dragoman as my tour opeartor for this grand trip. I am a little regretful now about this decision. It is a reputed overland company based in U.K. Unfortunately, I am not a camping person but Dragoman tours basically are all camping based. I sufferred a lot from not bringing a comfortable mattress and sleeping bag with me. Since Dragoman is not really cheaper, I discourage you to travel with them if you dislike camping. I also found most of the Dragoman drivers tend to be chain-smokers, which irritates me.

Despite that it was a long and very tiring trip (too much camping), I did have great time. There are a lot of pictures to be posted in these blog pages.
