· From Steve Freeman, a past member with happy memories:-

Hi from Melbourne Australia,

I enjoyed reading the info on the web especially with regard to the Indiaman history. I travelled Bombay to London leaving Bombay in May 1958. This was the second trip. The journey ended in July at Victoria bus station. I was 20 at the time and the youngest of the party. Paddy Fisher ran the show and was accompanied by wife Moti and a spare driver who left the group in Iran.

I have many slides of the trip. Looking back this was a life time experience.

· From David Orkin, a past attendee at the London Branch and renowned, independent travel writer:-

Former Globetrotters-regular (until he moved to Northumberland) David Orkin has just written his first guide book. “Nova Scotia: Bradt Travel Guide” was described as “inspirational” by The Independent, and the Sunday Telegraph said “(Orkin) punctuates generic guidebook information (history, geography, where to stay and what to do) with lively fact boxes on the region’s quirky diversity.”

Available through good bookstores (real and online) or see www.bradt-travelguides.com

Send my best to all the gang at Globies…
