enjoyed it!
I came upon this blog when I searched for 'Veliko Tarnovo stew'. My youngest son is currently there, mainly to eat more of the delicious stew he had there a few years ago. So I continued to read, along with a glass or two of wine, and found that you were in Turkey (I was there 36 yrs ago, when Ephesus was small, Pamukkale had no rules and Goreme had no town). Since you were heading for Azerbaijan I continued to read, as my oldest son has been working for in Baku 2.5 yrs. He has mentioned that there isn't much to see there.... But he has the satisfaction of helping to introduce e-commerce to AZ so he has been enjoying himself. It sounds like you didn't get to the oil baths, which has been a highlight for him. Read about it here if you want to see what you missed! http://kent.nomadlife.org/past/2009_08_01_archive.aspx Then you proceeded through Central Asia, where youngest son is also going. After that, your time in Mongolia was read with interest as the oldest son had been there for 3 months one winter....I believe it was 2005 (we are Canadians, so winter is well....just winter). It seems that even though your horse decided to take a nap with you on board, my son thought it was 'game-over' when it took off on him, full tilt, heading straight for a fence. I have really enjoyed the read, and particularly appreciate all the trouble you took to write your blog. Well done!!

cheeky til the last
you cheeky sod! I did read it and yes, you have been an amazing travel buddy and the last 4 months have been the most enjoyable of my life. there are things we've seen that will never be forgotten and places we've been that will live long in the memory. The summit of Khongor Els will forever be a highlight in my life, and more so for having you there. An honour and a priviledge my friend.

I loved reading about your travels and am amazed to hear the stories you told with heart and humour (yeah, a bit sentimental, but hey!). Hope Australia has some future stories - glad to hear you did it all. Very proud of you both and it'll be great when you come back to Blighty one day. x x x x P.S Mozza was fantastic!!!!

You certainly did (do it!)
Joely Your blogs have been amazing - the talk of the town, and Dad and I are so proud that you persisted in doing this trip (even without a mobile!). You have learned a lot about the world and about yourself and this will stand you in good stead when you return home and start your life as a working adult. There is more to come, and although it will be a different kind of travelling, we hope that you enjoy Oz, NZ, Fiji and the USA. Dad and I and your grandparents look forward to seeing you again at the end of the year - G-d we miss you!!! Be safe, be well and have fun! Mam xxxxxx

Just hello
Hi there Joel and Adam. I just managed to get through all of your entries by having some marathon reading sessions yesterday and today. Nicolas and I watched the documentary "The Long Way 'Round", so I'm thoroughly enjoying reading about the adventure from your point of view. Take good care of yourselves!

ooooh you are stern young man
"After about 10 minutes of thrashing myself and Adam.... ....about 20 of us bundled into the back of this truck and safe to say that after all being thrown about, by the time we got out, we all knew each other much much better... ......we woke up with bad hangovers on monday morning and tried to remember the calamitous events of the previous night."
