Today, as we fly from South Korea to New Zealand, we pass our 20,000th mile.
Back on October 11 we passed 10,000 miles and estimated that we would pass 20,000 “somewhere around Japan in January” – which is exactly where we are (at the time we thought we’d be visiting Japan – unfortunately we had to give it a pass on this trip).
The breakdown is as follows:
6794 miles by Plane
6311 miles by Train
2951 miles by Car
2065 miles by Motorcycle
962 miles by Boat
693 miles by Bus
218 miles on Foot
5 miles by Horse
- It took us 67 days to reach our first 10,000 (150 miles/day) and an additional 95 days to reach our second 10k (123 miles/day).
- We visited 5 countries in our first 10k; 8 countries in the second.
- At the equator the circumference of the earth is 24,900 miles.
We’re heading to New Zealand to ride motorcycles to 11 days, followed by two more flights in rapid succession, so we’re going to put in a lot of miles in a relatively short time. My guess is that 30,000 will be passed on February 13th or 14 during our flight from Tasmania to Vietnam.
