Travel features predominantly in
My Bucket List, so here are the details of what I want to do:
- In Africa, see wildlife - the wilder beast migration, cheetah run in Namibia, lions in the Serengeti, gorillas, giraffes, elephants....
- Kayak / cruise (which ever is feasible) down the major rivers in the world - Ganges, Yangtze, Nile, Amazon, Mississippi.
- See Europe slowly - may be bike through the countryside - absorbing the culture and the environment.
- Snorkel/dive in the top ten reefs of the world.
- See the ancient ruins - Harrappa, Mohenjodaro, Machu Pichu, Ayutthaya, Pompeii, Chichen Itza, Acropolis, and the Pyramids.
- Travel the Silk Route overland.
- Take transcontinental train rides - From Vladivostok to Moscow, The Orient Express, The Blue Train in South Africa, The Bergen Railway from Oslo to Bergen, The Indian Pacific (we already did The Ghan!) in Australia, The Canandian (Vancouver to Toronto), California Zephyr from Chicago to San Fran, the Berina Express across the Alps, the Glacier Express in Switzerland (I did this when I was 8, but want to do it again), Copper Canyon Railway in Mexico, the Shinkansen in Japan, The Eastern Orient Express from Singapore to Bangkok, The Royal Scotsman (if I can afford it ever!), and of course the Palace on Wheels in my good old India. i also want to do the Himsagar Express straight from Kanyakumari up to Kashmir.
