Oasis overland journey

[Maleg]

We did an overland in Africa. There were occasional exciting segments, but we were bored senseless for most of it. It's not like a cruise where there's stuff to do on the ship while at sea. You have to just sit and endure long stretches with nothing interesting to see or do.

We wouldn't do one again. We'd rather do a luxury train journey if we wanted to visit land locked locations.

Agree with this. Especially opting for a train vs the bus. Significantly more comfortable

My experience has been some backpacking in Europe by train.

Cycling across Europe (Munich to barelona)

Motorcycle across much of North America from Alaska to quatemala

I especially value the ability to travel under my own transportation. Being able to have a dynamic itinerary, staying longer when warranted and moving on sooner when the location is a bust makes all the difference.

Cycling was from Oktoberfest to a wedding. Bought the bike and the suit on location. :)

North America brought me through the Amazing north west territories.

Amazing! congrats


Back on track to thread, the more I look at the route and that bus, the more I get the feeling I would not love it.
