This is a story of a journey, a journey of discovery physically, emotionally and geographically. In 1972 two young Englishmen sailed on a cargo ship to Mexico with their Land Rover, called Adolf. Living in the vehicle they travelled through North, Central and South America for over a year, at a time before emails and mobile phones existed. Arrested a number of times, held at gunpoint, living on their wits and ingenuity, many friendships were formed that have stood the test of time. This is also a story of love and how that can endure through separation, even though to all intents and purposes the two travellers had disappeared off the face of the earth as far as family and friends were concerned. Contact with home was tenuous and restricted to out of date letters.The story is written in the time of the trip, reminiscing about the music of the 1970's, the world political situation and some of the people in the news at that time. For anyone who spent their formative years in the early 1970's this book should evoke memories of a new world and a new order, of a time of fun and rebellion.
