In 1969, the writer and her husband set off for what is intended to
be a short holiday in Ibiza and end up taking the so-called hippie
route to Katmandu in Nepal. It is the true account, written first
as a journal and then daily, by a woman who takes this journey
without preparation, planning or travel agent and before the
instant communication of mobiles, tablets and email. In this fresh
and engrossing account of a journey taken nearly 50 years ago from
Europe to Asia, Carol Carlton vividly describes a world which has
changed dramatically in the decades since; as she travels, an inner
journey emerges as the landscape, people and the journey itself
have their effect upon the writer. This book is a must-read for
readers who are interested in travel and also for those who see
life as an adventure, not only through what we do, but how we view
the world, who we are and who we become. What emerges from this
wonderfully described travel account is an approach to the unknown
in the widest sense through life's journey. While their wanderings
lead them into many kinds of hardships and dangers, it seems as if
their spirit of open-heartedness itself keeps them safe from the
unexpected risks that present themselves. At the same time, it
reveals how this spirit of innocent curiosity allows people from
many countries, religions and ways of life to reveal their
innermost convictions and feelings to her. Nowhere is this more
poignant than in Syria.
