Birthday Trip

I am turning 50 next year and would like to do something special for the occasion. I live in Australia, have done the Silk Road overland from Beijing to Istanbul, The Trans-Siberian, Yangzte Gorges, S-E Asia, UK, Paris, Italy. Any ideas anyone? Tend to avoid conventional holidays. Thanks in Advance.

Might consider a SA RoadTrip did that last fall

had a blast fly SYD RT to EZE despegar.com

Ormeno Bus to Chile Peru

adventures.worldnomads.com/destination/168/itinerary/23.aspx

Ecuador/Galapagos guanguiltagua.com exploradiving.com

huaorani.com back down through Bolivia or Fly over to

Rio and pick up Florianopilis nexussurf.com and

Iguazu on your way back down based on time you have.

Usually order the used book from amazon.com for $1.80

Lonely Planet used to be good folks but now

charging almost $20 for a kindle download

what a rip off they are now just another for profit driven

commercial site BBC owned just like TripAdvertizer.

Very sad...

Many Thanks qwovadis for your information. Ecuador/Galapagos is on my list of places to travel so will add that to list of possibile destinations. Would love to see a blue footed booby of all things. Thanks for the useful website: weather2travel.com Fingalmoon
