Lusaka To London in ANA45
Lusaka to London in ANA45 - Tales from along the wayThe author describes various incidents which took place during his overland travels from Lusaka to London in 1986 from Zambia in Southern Africa to London. Travelling in an old Land Rover (with the registration ANA45), these were the days before sat navs or mobile phones, what could possibly go wrong? Leaving Lusaka in February 1986 with a travelling companion (a young Brit called Peter, recruited by the author's wife), the journey was to take 6 months. Only 80 miles from Lusaka the first major mechanical failure on the Land Rover resulted in expensive repairs, using up all of the remaining Zambian cash which had been set aside for fuel. Undeterred we continued to the Tanzanian border where the vehicle was then loaded onto a ferry travelling up Lake Tanganyika. On route up Lake Tanganyika was where the next major incident occurred.After visiting silverback gorillas in the Virunga mountains in Rwanda, and negotiating civil unrest in Chad, the next major challenges involved dealing with serious illness on board and total vehicle breakdown in the Saharan desert. Bartering with the locals for spare parts to repair the vehicle, ANA45 was repaired and the journey continued through Algeria. Peter was now in a medical clinic receiving life saving attention and the author was travelling alone through the desert when the Land rover's chassis split almost completely. Roadside repairs in Morocco saved the day. The journey through Spain passed without incident but the final breakdown occurred in rush hour traffic around Paris!
Among the Tibetans
At the age of 63, Isabella Lucy Bird embarked on a remarkable journey that would become the captivating narrative of 'Among the Tibetans.' Published in the late 19th century, this account chronicles her awe-inspiring and formidable voyages across the sprawling Tibetan Plateaus and the breathtaking Himalayan mountain realms. Beginning her expedition in 1889, Bird ventured into the heart of these remote lands, unveiling the mysteries of territories like Ladakh, a region steeped in Tibetan culture nestled on the borders of India.Traversing treacherous mountain passes, some towering over 15,000 feet, Bird forged her path into the heart of Tibet, venturing through cities as storied as Lhasa and Gyantse. The sheer grandeur of the Great Himalayan Range loomed above her, dominating the high-altitude valleys and testing her physical resilience at every step. Amidst these towering peaks, she encountered a world of cultures and Buddhist heritage largely unfamiliar to the Western consciousness of her time.With her signature poetic prose, Bird becomes an intrepid observer and chronicler, delving deep into the daily lives of secluded Tibetan villages that remained untouched by the modernizing influences of the era. Her narrative unveils the intricacies of these remote societies, drawing attention to their ancient traditions that are woven with principles of resilience and resourcefulness, essential for survival in an unforgiving landscape.As she ventured further eastward, retracing her steps, Bird explored lesser-known corners of the Himalayas, such as Yarkand, before eventually concluding her expedition in India. Her memoir, penned with vivid detail and profound observation, introduced the mystique and enigma of Tibet and Central Asia to Western audiences. Notably, her perspective as a pioneering female explorer added a unique dimension to the exploration of one of the world's most challenging and captivating terrains.
Unbeaten Tracks in Japan
Isabella Bird's 1878 expedition through Japan, chronicled in 'Unbeaten Tracks in Japan, ' immerses readers in an extraordinary odyssey across the seldom-explored territories of Japan's remote northern and central regions. Breaking away from conventional travel narratives, Bird adopts an unconventional prose style, crafting a captivating tale of her off-the-beaten-path escapades.Rather than confining herself to the urban bustle, Bird ventures deep into Japan's rustic countryside and less-trodden areas. Her journey unravels hidden corners, revealing feudal villages virtually untouched by Western influences. Within these enclaves, she encounters a mesmerizing fusion of age-old traditions entwined with the winds of modernization ushered in by the Meiji era.The pinnacle of Bird's exploration lies in her traverse to Hokkaido, Japan's northern frontier, where she encounters the indigenous Ainu people. Entranced by their unique culture, she documents their way of life amidst the looming threat of encroaching imperialist forces that menace their ancestral customs.Throughout her sojourns, Bird paints vivid landscapes onto the pages of her narrative canvas-towering mountains, serene lakes, and idyllic rural panoramas where farmers and artisans coexist harmoniously with nature's rhythms. This captivating imagery, interspersed with literary allusions, historical insights, and poetic prose, weaves an eccentric tapestry that mirrors the mystique of the realm she traversed.'Unbeaten Tracks in Japan' becomes the conduit through which Bird presents the allure of ancient Japanese culture to Western readers through a distinctly feminine perspective. Her chronicle serves as an enchanting portal, inviting readers to venture into the depths of Japan's lesser-known landscapes and traditions, enriched by Bird's eloquent portrayal of this captivating and enigmatic realm.

Towards the Sun
Ah, but we lived together in Egypt. I've known you from the time of Egypt, I know that. You are one of those to whom I said in Egypt, "I promise you that you will be part... that you will be on earth at the hour of realization." There are a few of them - not many But I know that!......Oh, there are amusing things. Egypt was an extremely occult age, at that time they really had occult knowledge. So that gives you a power over the invisible, you can act there consciously. ......Oh!. That's a remarkable thing꞉ in every age, and probably on the contrary, the farther you go into the past, there's a jumble, a clutter of quite uninteresting things - which disappear. They disappear, they are destroyed. There only remains what had an interesting inner life. So the past seems to us much more interesting than the present, but from our age all the clutter will also disappear and be dissolved in the same way, and only the best will remain, except if they use mechanical means to preserve loads of recordings of heaps of stupidities.But otherwise...
