"Hi Henry / Rupert,
I'm the guy who came over to speak to you after seeing your T4 undergoing repairs in Mapusa, Goa (sorry if I have shattered anyone's illusions about VW reliability here!).
Anyway ... Well done! As I told you, it's been an ambition of mine to do the journey for many years. One day I'll get my finger out!
Good luck on the way back!

"Who is this jerk Sandy. Would you want to fly with him?"
"Well well well, as I sit in the worlds most boring country in the world, surrounded by dumb americans, waiting for the wind to drop so i can fly, it seems that you two have at last got to India. The pics look fab, and i'm sure a jug of ale at the plasterers some time, and a lot of good stories will come out! I hope your staying safe, and I like the new art work on the side of your van! I'm back in the sunny UK in Feb, equipped with my commercial pilots licence, so I hope to see you then.
Safe trip guys, and catch you soon...
Sandy"

"Hi guys, Henry got your email earlier & thought i'd leave a comment here, can't believe I last saw you 2 years ago in the engineering dept. and now you're driving round the world in that funky van!
I wish you all the best on your journey, keep up the great pics they are fascinating. I can't think of much to say but this quote comes to mind:
"We need spirited, energetic and strong young people whose hearts are filled with life, enthusiasm, zeal and dynamism; whose souls are full of ambition, aspiration and vigor and have great goals, rising and aspiring to reach them until they eventually arrive at their destination."
- Hasan al-Banna"
"Sweet roadtrippers,
lovely seeing you both being happy in Iran! I'm still doubting to come to India, not sure yet... But I will certainly change the date of my flight to the end of Jan or begin Feb. Henry, I would like to talk to you over msn, don't be afraid, I'm really happy for you! I hope you heard about the critical situation in Pakistan and I really hope you'll get through!
Oh yes, Jesse asked me if he could use a picture (the one with Rupert standing in the woods, with the sunlight on the background) to make decoration.
Lots of love from la tropica Belgica (NOT)
Hope to get some news soon!
Superpeace!
