Backpacking

Eastern Hemisphere

Carol and I spent August to December 1991 backpacking, heading mostly overland, more or less eastwards. We travelled through France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Egypt, Yemen, Pakistan, China, Hong Kong and New Zealand. After Carol flew home I spent another month in Nepal. We failed to get into Sudan and Tibet and didn't bother with Australia or India.
