The Idea that kicked off this blog was an epic road trip from London to Melbourne, and from time to time after a few drinks, I get to talking about the idea again. Last night my buddies and I started dreaming a little larger for our vehicle, specifically a double-decker bus.

This certainly meets my requirement of being a perfectly ridiculous vehicle to drive across the world. Also, it turns out that you can pick them up used fairly cheaply, with very little looking I found one on Ebay for under 3,000 pounds. It also has the added bonus of providing a fair amount of livable space. The drawback of course is the size, it sucks gas, and if you have to take it on a ferry then you might pay an arm and a leg.

Still, it’s and idea I’m going to explore further.

The Idea that provided the start for this blog was an epic road tip from London to Melbourne. It turns out, there’s a bus that pretty much does that. The Oz Bus offers a variety of routes, including one from London to Sydney.

They do the whole things good deal faster than I would like, but, I have to admit, there is something appealing about the thought of someone else doing all the driving and having a big fun group of people to hang out with all along the way.
