DESCRIPTION:
About the AuthorTed Simon is a journalist and the author of several travel books including the international bestseller Jupiter's Travels.
It inspired thousands, Ewan McGregor included, to roam the globe. Back in the seventies, Ted Simon drove a Triumph motorcycle around the world. Now in his own seventies, thirty years after his epic journey began, Ted has retraced that epic journey, still on a bike, to rediscover himself, his world and the memorable characters he met. A remarkable perspective on the world today.. His book, Jupiter's Travels, became the acknowledged classic of motorcycle adventure
Five Stars A great follow up to the original.. Excellent Travel Read I love a good travel story.This definitely falls in that category.Motorcyclists will especially like it. Highly recommended.. John C. Ellis said Not Jupiter's Travels.. Ted Simon and the world he rode through have changedand not necessarily for the good. That was the message I got.While Jupiter's Travels was an amazing enchanted ride through a time now long gone"Dreaming" is more of a slog through an over-crowded, disappointing, sense of the loss of youth and place. Everything has gone or changed for the worse. Damned depressing. Its an interesting book and I suppose you should read it if you are a fan of Simon or of motorcycles, but it has very little of its predecessor's magic qualities.S
