The first leg of our trip takes us from London, UK to Havana, Cuba. Two weeks in Cuba and then onto Mexico City to start the Central American leg. From CA to South America and then a hop skip and a jump to New Zealand, stepping on Rapa Nui and Tahiti on the way. From NZ to Fiji, then the east coast of OZ, then South East Asia, before flying back home from Hong Kong.
