Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to round two of William Delaney's travel blogging.
Between the lines of Asia was a huge success last year and has only inspired me to continue writing about these adventures I undertake annually around the world.
This years take is a slightly different angle, a more focused angle and the trip is a little bit shorter than the last. However, this trip is packed with some of Africa's greatest highlights, and also some of its most incredibly hidden secrets.
I shall begin this trip in Khartoum, Sudan in mid June and finish in Cape Town, South Africa at the end of August. In between these two incredible destinations I will overland through Ethiopia to seek a further understanding of the ancient Coptic form of Christianity found there, to look for the tomb of the Queen of Sheba and hike through some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. After Ethiopia I will venture by land to Kenya, spotting some of the Africa's best wild life, swimming in the source of the great river Nile, Lake Victoria, and hopefully meeting up with my good friend Jen Barr. After Kenya, I shall overland to Tanzania to explore the famed Arab trading Island of Zanzibar, where I hope to relax after this wild overland trek and recharge my batteries before attempting to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak
The trip gets more exciting, and while planning and sourcing out flights, I managed to get the deal of a life time to get to Madagascar for an affordable rate. My friend Alejo and I have been discussing Madagascar for years. He and I have sipped many glasses of Port dreaming of this Island of mystery, and I am dedicating this portion of the trip to his inspiration.
After Madagascar I shall venture by flight to South Africa to finish up the tale end of my journey sipping fine Pinotage and Chardonnay in the mountain towns surrounding the Cape of Good Hope.
I know as is always the case that I will leave with a plan, but as with every adventure I have ever taken the path I set out for myself always changes and new and exciting adventures appear around every corner. But I guess that is the nature of my life.
As a teacher, I pride myself of being a life long learner, and bringing as much of the "World to the Classroom" as I can. I can only hope that this trip will open up new doors to whole new worlds for myself and for others. And with less than two months to go before departure, I cannot be more excited!
Please feel free to email, facebook or tweet me if you have any questions about the trip, contacts in this parts of the world, or suggestions of what I can do while over there.
