Kev's Walkabout 2005/06/07

This is my journal about the time myself and three mates (Pete, Tom and Al) went around the world. We plan to start in london and find our way to Australia without flying!! Might sound a bit strange, but im sure it will be a good laugh. Anyone following us to Russia, SE Asia or Oz will probably find this of use, otherwise I'm sure my mates back home will find it interesting!
