Bill's Big Trip "Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do, nothing to kill or die for. Imagine all the people living life in peace. Imagine all the people sharing all the world. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one." John Lennon

I had a nice flight on Kenya Airways from Nairobi to Bangkok, it took 10 hrs or more. I've said it numerous times but I'll say it once more, air travel is amazing. Africa one day and Southeast Asia the next day. I met my brother Ray in Bangkok, ... Read more >

Zanzibar, Tanzania

TANZANIA | Sunday, 5 Oct 2014 | Views [358]

I spent a week in Zanzabar, an island off the coast of Tanzania. I had a good time, very quiet. I think it was fate that brought me there, I had the Patty Duke TV show theme song running through my head for a couple weeks prior to my vist. Those old ... Read more >

I just finished a 4 night safari in Tanzania, an amazing experience, one that is difficult to express. Incredible. The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater have to be two of the most spectacular places on earth. The landscape and animals are ( I ran out of ... Read more >

Malawi

MALAWI | Sunday, 14 Sep 2014 | Views [321]

I've been in Malawi for about a week. Nice scenery, kind but poor people. I heard the life expectancy is 43. Aids and safe child birth problems are big concerns. I flew for the first time in Africa from Harare Zimbabwe to Lilongwe Malawi. Flew Malalian ... Read more >

Victoria Falls Zimbabwe

ZIMBABWE | Monday, 8 Sep 2014 | Views [230]

I was a little underwhelmed with Victoria Falls. The falls extend approximately 1 mile. Unfortunately I am visiting during the dry season and much of the falls were not running. Still pretty darn spectacular. See pictures.

Another 20 short hours on the bus. InterCape bus company is the bus line I've used for the long haul in Africa. It's been pretty good, reasonably priced and they're going to the places that I want to go to. The one odd thing about the company is the ... Read more >


Namibia, Etosha National Park

NAMIBIA | Wednesday, 3 Sep 2014 | Views [348]

It was quite an experience seeing the animals in the natural environment. I was on a safari of one. I tried to join a tour, but there wasn't an open spot or the dates didn't work. I rented a car in Windhoek  (sp)and  headed for Etosha, about ... Read more >

I'm headed south towards Cape Town South Africa from Port Elizabeth. Bought a ticket on the Baz bus. The bus works in conjunction with a group of hostels and provides door to door service between cities. Very convenient, saves a lot of time trying to ... Read more >


Istanbul to Johannesburg, South Africa

SOUTH AFRICA | Saturday, 16 Aug 2014 | Views [301]

It was a long couple of days traveling from Istanbul to Johannesburg. This is the downside of using frequent flier miles, sometimes you don't take the most  direct route to your destination. I left Istanbul Wednesday morning and flew to Athens then ... Read more >

About lipowcan8

A quick recap. I visited 19 countries in 212 days, traveled 46,000 miles by air,15,000 miles by land and spent about $25,000. My feet got beat up a few times and I twisted my ankle a couple of times.  No plane, train, car, bus, tuk tuk or taxi mishaps, not even a fender bender. I wasn't threatened or harassed and amazingly enough I didn't lose anything. It's hard to believe seven months have passed. As I said in my first entry.....a wonderful way to celebrate 60 years of living. It sure was!
