ok ......for you Herbie

when we arrived in New Delhi the driver parked the bus in the grounds of the "Y"
many of us couldnt afford the cost of a room so slept on the bus. it was this guards job to keep us, the great unwashed, out of the lovely clean bathrooms of the Y unless we were paying.
we won mostly and got lovely showers

a Mosque inm i think Shiraz which was a most wonderful city.
i am more sad about the loss of the colour in these pics than the loss of any other i think.
the mosques we saw were simply breathtaking

probably Cyprus

Mud huts again

stranded on the border of Iran and Afghanistan........for a day or two for no reason we ever understood. Truly the middle of nowhere

Long ago and far away I did some travel

recently i have had the slides i took of some of this time, transferred to CD

the pics are essentially not good quality......what can i exepct after 40 years of neglecting them.??

these few are worth showing simply because they show the world as it was then.........a very different place. many of which places are no longer easily travelled like they were then.
i spent 4 years out of the country at the time

the photos are obviously not in sequence ........but then neither is my brain today.:-)
i am glad i finally did something about getting these images off the old and poor quality slides

a local bus..........Iran i think ??

the garden my friends parents house in Devon

the excavations at Rhodes..... i think

THE bus i took from London to New Delhi. After which i took a plane to Thailand and then a train thro Malaysia to Singapore. A plane from Singapore to Sydney
me and about 30 others lived on nothing a day and slept on that bus most nights.!!
pity the pic has deteriorated so badly
