This book is about faith, determination to succeed in an overland trip Journey from Rochdale through over 19 countries of the world. Prime purpose was to perform Hajj - Muslim Pilgrimage in Saudia Arabia. The overland journey lasted several months literally on the move in a Ford Cortina Mark 3 saloon car, in which the author and his parents slept in, eat their meals in and experienced by motor vehicle break downs. Their faith kept them going, and the car, which brought them back to Rochdale, after seeing different countries, customs, cultures, traditions, food dishes and languages. It was an experience never to be forgotten, but treasured, it was an experience that encouraged the family to do another overland trip in a different car, and see many more different countries in depth, and soak in their culture and language. An experience that is recommended to be taken up as a rewarding challenge, by anyone who dares to take risks, and the unexpected in a car journey miles away from home sweet home. Thank God (Shukkar Allah) This book was started in 1981 handwritten, completed in 1983 typed up. Search for a publisher failed. Now in 2008 some 25 years later with help of AuthorHouse done a self-publication of the book. Many changes have taken place since the journey was completed and the manuscript written.
