    From Hong Kong to Hamburg.

    I continue to be cross that my card would not work in Germany, and so I had to fly to England (ticket paid for by a charity in Hamburg) rather than taking a ferry home. It was also bad luck that I arrived in Hamburg the very day that the ferry went into dry dock for the next three weeks.

    Another long overland trip was Dar es Salaam to Cape Town...

    Compared to other answers... not far!

    About 1,000 KM going along a river.
