It was a long way

I just did the numbers on the first part of the trip, from London to Scotland to Melbourne:

Transportation:

Buses: 19 in order to travel great distances, not counting those needed to go to the Great Wall of inside a city. Count 8 nights of sleep aboard them.

Trains: 23, including 14 nights of sleep aboard them.

Cars: only two, and both in France. Scratch that: eleven if you count nine from hitchhicking.

Motocycles: No real travelling, only to go get a beer.

Flights: two, from Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur and KL to Melbourne. Could not get a...

Ships: four. All relatively good experiences. Two nights on board, great sceneries on Venice to Patras.


Accomodations:

Nights in Hostels: 24, most of them a good experience. Italy is very expensive by the way. China: not so much, especially Xian (3$ a night in a great place).

Nights with couchsurfing: 18, again I gave them all a good reference because they where all nice and welcoming.

Nice at friend's place: 32. Noting to say other than I have great friends who did take care of me. I am looking forward to having the opportunity to return the favor. Thanks to all of you!


Total days of travelling: 102.

Distance: around 30 000 km?

Most common food: ramen noodles.

Most common drink: bottled water (I feel dirty).

Number of fights: zero, I'm not stupid enough.

XP gained: a lot.


Thanks for reading,
