Finally about to hit africa.
This has been a crazy long journey circumnaivigating from east asia. Im gonna attempt my first long duration flight today to make it to the continenet. Normally its just30 min flights per day and then i do the next leg seperately.
I have never just sat at the screen for 2 hours, but im trying to cross the red sea today. One of these days i might clear a day out and attempt a real time longhaul flight, but i cant help but groan at 4hours staring at thescreen.
Instead of crossing through egypt and the mediteranean , i think i might spend the next few weeks taking the old Ferdinand MAgellen route around africa. Gonna be nice to see more scenic routes. Its been nothing but barren desert and Arab struggle cities since i got to Iraq. But i will say im rather suprised at how little sand is actually present in these places. I was kinda picturing the scene from Alladin with the endless sand dunes once i got to Saudi Arabia, but its just dry rocks. Might as well be in new mexico
Tbh, South East Asia was the last place that was dense with atractive scenery. With a brief exception of Iranian landscapes. Iran was beautiful brehs
