Hi Jon,

We are planning a similar trip from London to Melbourne around this time next year. Would love the opportunity to have a chat to point us in the right direction… no pun intended!
Look forward to your book release and hope to hear from you soon.

Kind Regards

Linton Chalmers

Well, Jackie Faine we dragged out your 2005 Morocco 2-pager from The Age and folo-d the path to Essaouira Fairly disappointing we thought compared with Fes and Marrakech
The seaside resort of Ess. is extremely windy qnd the sea a murky brown …. no blue water visible until a klick offshore Could have been the result of heavy weekend rain, perhaps, the muddy water close 2 shore
Anyway we r off to the Atlas Mountains next plus a spot of standing on and contemplating the mythical Sahara
Can empathise with young Jack. Xian in northern China is fantastic, particularly the Terracotta Warriors displays
But 4 all of u still back in Oz …. we dont know how lucky we are compared with 3rd world nations and the constant battle 4 survival

G’day Fellas

I heard your enthusiasm in a radio file report the other day while recovering from a cold on the couch. You sound like you are having a grouse time. Just thought I’d remind you of the normality of things back home bla, bla, just in case you are feeling a little home sick! I wish I was doing the same as you, enjoying the world and all the great things it has to offer. Our turn will come but it is as much about making it happen like you have done. Soak it all in fellas and continue to have fun and tribulation.

Good choice of vehicle John. I have a 4WD Mistsubishi van that runs on a 2.5l petrol motor - I wish I could have bought a diesel but they did not import them to Australia back in 1993. I think diesel should be cheaper than petrol so they we encourage its use - it is more enviromentally friendly than petrol and much more efficient.

Hope the trip is going well. Looking forward to more update.
