Yep. Another dilemma.
The wavering, at the moment, assuming a westerly journey (from Australia)
is leaning towards South Africa - with a stop in Madagascar and, perhaps,
Mauritius. The other attraction of that route is that we could cross over
to South Ameica on the way up the Atlantic.
We'll keep you posted.
