| STORY DESCRIPTION This book records a series of journeys from the mid-70's until the end of the 20th century, including across Africa, through the Darien Gap, Kathmandu to London, and a circumnavigation of South America, in the days before internet, mobile phones and instant email communication. It documents the adversities of the Darien jungle, backpacking around South America, and a five-month odyssey from South Africa to London, at a time when a traveller could be cut off from family and friends for weeks at a time as he or she moved between post offices in different countries, where the phone or telex may or may not work, but where Post Restante might at least offer news from home. It was an age when 'Google it', Google Maps, Google Translate, GPS and instant connectivity did not exist. Travellers solved their problems by reasoning, by asking locals, and if all else failed, by sign language and a pen and paper.
