the favourite journeys

The first 10:
Ikaria to Mykonos ferry. High seas and late nights.
Trans-Siberian Railway. 6 days, the ultimate journey.
Annapurna circuit walk, Nepal. The worldest greatest trek.
Jomson to Pokhara flight, Nepal. 20 minutes of flying above the clouds but below the mountains.
Kowloon to HK Island ferry. The Star shuttle ferry.
Chitwan, Nepal to Varanasi, India. Buses, jeeps, trains, rickshaws all in 24 hours of madness.
Kumily to Munnar, Kerala, India. Rockin' to U2 in an Ambassador taxi.
Luang Prabang to Munong Noi boat, Laos. 8 hours riding the rapids.
Don Khone, Laos to Phon Penh. Speedboat thrill ride.
Swakopmund to Sesseriem. Desert, gravel roads and the Tropic of Capricorn.

The worst:
Well, most of them seemed the worst at the time but you can't help but look back fondly at them. Except maybe 5 hours stuck in the back of a pickup truck in Namibia.
