Around the World  Tour - Southern Hemisphere Explorer

The Southern Hemisphere Explorer:

New York - London - Cape Town - Johannesburg - Perth - Sydney - Auckland - Papeete - Los Angeles - New York.

Depart New York for London, your first stop on your journey around the globe.
London - This ever-changing city can be visited again and again and there would always be a new musical to enjoy, a new restaurant to sample, and a new street performance to marvel at. Hop on the London Eye for a panoramic view of the city, then delve into its many attractions. London will make a perfect base for day trips to Paris, Brussels, the Stonehenge, and Wales.

Cape Town - Rent a car or motor home and drive from here to Port Elizabeth exploring the beautiful scenery and wine estates of the Garden Route, one of the most stunning fly-drives in the world.

Johannesburg - A great base for discovering the spectacular and varied wildlife of Kruger National park. Fly from here to Livingston in Zambia to see the natural wonder of the Zambezi River that is Victoria Falls.

Perth - The western hub of activity of Australia. Perth is a great base for a West Coast fly-drive. Head north to the red-sand scenery of Broome or head south the town of Freemantle. For a unique train journey, it's all aboard the Indian Pacific for the thrilling ride across the baron wastelands of the Nullarbor Plain to Adelaide or Sydney.

Sydney - A city of enduring and memorable images, Sydney is young, fun and wonderfully attractive. Catch a concert at the Opera House, walk the Harbour Bridge for great city views and explore the fascinating Botanical Gardens.

Auckland - One of the friendliest cities in the world, Auckland is a beguiling mix of Polynesian, Oriental and European cultures. Walk the coast-to-coast trail and discover extinct volcanoes, tropical gardens and picturesque suburbs.

Papeete - A great base for a trip to the paradise islands of Bora Bora or Moorea and a fantastic place to stop on a long trip from Auckland to Los Angeles.

Los Angeles - Star Gazing in Broad Daylight: Well, star-home gaze, at least. With maps pinpointing superstars' homes sold on nearly every corner, you can easily hop from mansion to mansion in number-one-fan delirium. Photograph yourself out front and keep an eye out for parting gates that might mean an autograph through a limo window! If you'd rather leave the driving to someone else, take one of the many tour buses instead.

Visit the Happiest Place on Earth: Disneyland, that is, and other theme parks like Knott's Berry Farms. See movie magic in the making at Warner Brothers Studios and Universal Studios, where hit movies and TV shows are filmed every day, and trying to escape King Kong and Jaws is all in a day's visit, thanks to special effects thrill rides.

Museum Row: In one leisurely ramble you will encounter nature, pop culture, and modern art collaboratively displayed in the side by side La Brea Tar Pits, Museum of Miniatures, Petersen Automobile Museum, Craft and Folk Art Museum, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. But you'll need more than one day to see it all properly!

Beach Blanket Bingo: Do a little sun-worshipping, cheer on a volleyball game at Manhattan Beach, gawk a bit at the body-builders on Muscle Beach, ride a horse along the Malibu sand (and keep an eye out for Goldie Hawn), cast a line off the Santa Monica Pier, or hang ten - it's the California thing to do!
