You know, we've always looked at our planned circumnav as going south from Cocos to Mauritius to South Africa and crossing the Atlantic from the bottom.
But in the last month or two, we've been seriously looking at going to Sri Lanka and Maldives, Suez and the Med (a whole mass of destinations) to cross the Atlantic from the top.
Seems to me there is a heck of a lot to see and so many different cultures to experience that one would ordinarily never have the opportunity to do.
If, by the time we go, the piracy issues around Somalia and Eritrea can be sorted, why go South?
