In the past few days we have traveled from Colombo, Sri Lanka to Singapore to Auckland, New Zealand to Hobbiton to Rotorua. There have been several long flights and the jet lag has really been messing with my internal clock. We’re currently staying at an amazing lodge in a lush forest on the rim of an extinct volcano. This is the first Chance I’ve had to sit and collect my thoughts about our trip up to this point.
We’ve been on the road for about five weeks and we’ve traveled to nine countries. They are: Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, India, Sri Lanka, Singapore and New Zealand.
The journey has been absolutely remarkable and neither myself nor Christy can pick one thing that stands out above all our other experiences. Everything has been a peak experience. However, all of our time in India with Rohit was joyous and special, it is something we will always cherish.
One of the great revelations of the trip was my new Fuji X-Pro2 travel camera outfit. It was a little rough to use on safari where I wished I had my Nikon with a longer lens but it did surprising well nonetheless. The Fuji performed flawlessly as an urban camera, for landscapes, documentary and street photography. I am currently writing a full review of the Fuji as a travel and expedition camera.
I have quite a bit more to say about our experiences on our third full around the world expedition so stay tuned.
