In the last blog post, I stated what we will be doing (and when), during our Europe/Asia trip next month. As we are still uncertain on what exactly we’re doing, we will keep this blog post updated as we confirm plans and flights. We will continue updating this as much as we can until the take-off date. Plans may still change after we leave. Watch this space!

UPDATE (24 May 2013): We have updated the itinerary to make it easier to read what we have planned for each and every day of the trip. Currently, there’s not much there but this post will be updated as we get closer to take-off date.

The itinerary and older updates to the itinerary are after the break.

After months upon months of planning and constant checking for cheap flights, we have finally booked our main flights! Yep, the dates are now set in stone and we are ready to go!

So far, we’ve got this confirmed. The take-off date is June 20, and the trip will last a total of 67-days, so we will be returning in August 26. We will also be visiting the following countries. Singapore, Thailand, Italy and Belgium. But the planning hasn’t finished just yet and we’re still at the drawing board on the lookout for more countries to visit.

As we are yet to confirm all flights and plans for this trip (note that we have only booked the main flights so far), we will update our itinerary/plans HERE as they are confirmed.

It’s been over a month since our last ‘Europe 2013’ post so I thought I’d give you a little update on what’s happening.

Planning for the June 2013 Europe trip is still underway (if you’re wondering) and our budget has allowed us to add new cities into our itinerary! Wonderful! 

As most Australian travellers would know, buying flights out of Australia are inflated as heck. It breaks the bank. Buying a separate flight to Asia and then flying into Europe with another airline could possibly cut your airfare costs in half. As we are flying into Asia anyway, we thought, why not make a holiday out of it?! So the plan is - in the first week (and a bit) of our trip, we will be touching down in Cambodia & Thailand (and maybe Singapore as well). Phew! Almost three countries in seven-or-so days. We ain’t messing around that’s for sure!
