- This "News" appear this time as a 'summary':
- Sri Lanka was ending for us on May 26th, 2011, while our LandCruiser was stuffed into its 22nd container the evening before. We
- flew for 12 days for 'personal maintenance' to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia; our car left Colombo on June 1st, 2011, heading to Malaysia
- for the time being too. On June 7th, we continued with another flight to Phuket, where we were picked up by an earlier German traveler
- friend who owns in the meantime in Khao Lak in Thailand a holiday bungalow village. We were able to spend another 12 days at this
- beautiful beach – then on June 19, it was time to return once more to Kuala Lumpur. Our LandCruiser however left Malaysia already
- on June 14th, 2011, to sail with the shipping company CMA-CGM via the French Island of Réunion to Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.
- Hence we are leaving tomorrow, June 22nd, 2011, 'Australasia' (Australia / Pacific and Asia) too, having spent the past six years in this
- region in driving about 43'000 miles in 19 different new countries. Our flight goes from here directly to Mauritius, where the
- container with our Toyota is supposed to arrive beginning of July as well. This island that geographically belongs already to Africa will
- become after 26¾ years and 409'000 miles on our worldtrip the 170th country. It's a long time (240'000 miles in 133 different
- countries) since we left this continent on November 2nd, 1992, on a freighter from Capetown in South Africa to Perth in Australia! At
- that time we NEVER would have thought that today we shall still be "on the road".
- Because our LandCruiser arrives a bit delayed in Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius, we take the chance to visit the island of Rodrigues,
- which belongs to Mauritius and lies about 360 miles more to the East. We shall report on this event – as well as on the arrival of our car –
- in our next "News".
