Really pleased you enjoyed it @realtreebivvy.
I was telling mum about Steemit today to put taking the photo into context and check that she was ok with it being public for ever and ever. I don't think she's re-read this for decades! I'm going to send her the link and I hope she also reads the comments and sees yours. Many thanks :-)
i can imagine the bravery required to drive all that way through the middle east down to India - probably not even remotely possible today, still an epic journey - awesome:)
It was something they had wanted to do with friends when at university, in the 60s, but didn't have the resources. I wanted to do it as an adult, but never made it, and, as you say, it looks pretty difficult now. Guess there may be a route through Turkey-Iran-Pakistan which would be safe enough, even now - or else the BIG trans-Siberian to China to India loop, which would be fascinating, but!!!!!!!!! ...........Cool man :)
