I am about to embark on the longest and most adventurous journey of my life as of yet, and I am as prepared for it as... well, I'll let my still empty suitcase speak for itself. I'm leaving Norwegian ground in 14 hours, and I have - give or take - two weeks worth of preparation and planning to go through before I set foot on Asian soil for the first time. Good thing Germany has large malls ready to serve my every need so I can stock up a bit.
Some of you already know that I'm off to India in a week, after spending the holidays in Germany with my best friend and travelmate Susanne. Assuming Frankfurt airport is open on New Year's Eve, we will be carried into 2011 by a Boeing 777-2/300ER heading for New Delhi. There is a very roughly planned travel route, and areas to mention are Agra (Taj Mahal), Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kerala (backwaters) and Goa. As far as I remember, we will be heading back to Europe on January 28th, giving us a whole month to roam the country of fragrant spices and wandering cows.
Starting this travelblog a little early so I can get used to posting to it on limited devices such as my netbook and my smartphone. I am hoping to acquire a prepaid SIM-card for my phone with a flatrate data package so I can post on the go (given there's network coverage).
Oh well, I guess I better get started on stuffing the suitcase and backpack. I'll be following the old saying 'If you bring everything, you forget nothing', I can still sort out what I wont bring further when I'm settled in Bonn.
