Hi Chilli,

First of all, congratulations on taking the plunge and booking a RTW trip - you'll have a fantastic time.

I've also done a RTW trip but it was some years ago now so any specific advice I give you would probably be out of date. (Places change, of course).

But you are travelling a route that is a well-worn path, in both directions. Inevitably you will meet other travellers, some of whom will have just been to the place you're going to next. They will tell you the "must-see" sights, the best places to stay and eat (and those to avoid). In return, you'll tell them all about the place you've just been to where they are going next.

Have fun!

Pete
