Now this is a blast from the past for some of you hardened travelers. But if they don't get too many airplanes in the air, or travel becomes more like that of an expensive luxury only the wealthiest could do in the beginning of world travel.

Thing is if for some reason flights fail too the minions, such has being too expensive, then there maybe light at the end of the tunnel, someone mentioned the train, and now maybe a bus.

the old bus trip

The original Magic Bus set off from a cockroach-infested office on Amsterdam's Dam Square and almost levitated across border posts on a cloud of hashish smoke. Travel was a state of mind, an inner journey fuelled by narcotics, an escape from suburbia and the emptiness of unexamined lives. Its travellers were stimulated by writers like Ginsberg and Kerouac, Beats who invented the "now life" in reaction to the deferred pleasures of their parents' world.

playing around on duck duck
this might be of of interest to any of you all that made the trip in the 60-70's
or in later years dreamed of it

an enjoyable read.

Dam those were good times; Afghanistan, India, Nepal were as close to being in another world that you could be
