Your trip is getting more exiting by the day, and you must be seeing each other in a completely different light. All the best, and I do mean best.

On our travels, having a husband who could speak Turkish, Greek, Arabic and English (with an accent), got us through places with ease. Even avoided being frisked on the border of Turkey and Greece. Glad you intend to include Turkey, you might yet get to sample Rams Balls. Stay well, enjoy the sights and sounds. My travelling days are shot, so am enjoying your journey very much. So much to tell the grandhildren!!! Joy Ali Jon and Jack,

I bet the trip is going way too fast as you see the end of the year approaching. Just saw your mum and I think she misses you guys just a little bit. Enjoy every day as it comes. All good things come to an end but these memories will certainly last a lifetime. I asked your mum what guarantees there were that you guys would come home at the end of the year!!!!!!

You must be overwhelmed at how far you have progressed and the wonders you have both seen so far. We are looking forward to the next 'chapter'. Travel safely you two. PS Have you given a name to your trusty vehicle yet or have we missed that one? Hello Jon & Jack,

Missing your daily radio programme (ABC) but loving reading about your extraordinary travels and viewing those fantastic pictures. You must be overwhelmed at how far you have progressed and the wonders you have both seen so far. We are looking forward to the next ‘chapter’. Travel safely you two.

PS Have you given a name to your trusty vehicle yet or have we missed that one?

BTW, I hadn't realised till a few weeks ago that you were doing radio interviews with Ali Moore. I've now been recording them and would be happy to post them up on the web or give them to you to post for those who want to hear your voice (I can't find any of your interviews on the abc website). Safe travels. Yuri.

We have just returned from the US where we travelled by road through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska,and Wyoming visiting cattle ranches and bull sales etc! Quite a contrast with the experiences you are having. It was an interesting time to be there with the election looming and the financial situation grim. Meg and Ian HI John and Jack,
