We all wonder where the ging comes from but know where the grey comes from, impending middle age. Enjoy your youth for one more day.

cheers and love

Hi John,

Have a great birthday on the 30th. Look forward to reading more of your travels.

Best wishes,

Dai, Kirsten & Annie

Hi the photos are great keep them coming, Have a happy birthday and keep safe and well. XX

the definition of irony - I go to an outdoor rock and roll concert in the middle of summer in hyde park and it pisses down. additional definition - i sign up for a travel blog and get told about places the bloke hasn't even been to.
mate after 34 days in iran, you'd better get back here quick so i can give you a good beating. send postcards next time!
oh crikey, the equation is into double digits. yikes.

Seen Stan yet?

not long now untill Mrs. B.Boist heads off to Corsicastan,(after Londonstan that is). (thanks for the inspiration Danny D.)

cheers and love from dad

JD, have fun in turkamenabeardanobeerastan. Say hey to boist in Greecezastan too. Cracker. Go the beard. Go the kurdish folk dancing. Go Mangamanu. Oh yeah, Monaca Thacker sends her regards.

Morning Sqdrn Ldr Davis,

Bus fight sounds a bit edgy - glad the number 9 has prepared you for such scenarios.

Just flown in from Ibiza. Not sure that our appreciation of ancient culture and religions quite matched up to your trip but it was fun nevertheless... 6 hours sleep from Thursday to Monday - feeling fresh today as you can imagine.

Glad you got the visa sorted.

Besos

I think I might have caught you up, beardwise. Please send latest proof of your current hirsuteness. Do you have any grey-white areas yet? Two-three tone is definitely the 'in' look this winter/summer.

cheers and love

dad

Scooter is right - there is definitely some sort of alignment between your travelling through the sunny Middle East and the frankly ridiculous amount of rain we are suffering from!

Please come back so we can get our bikinis out and enjoy whats left of the summer months

I'm a bit confused! I signed up for a travel blog with regular updates. And what do I get? The occasional ramblings of a deluded bearded bloke as he ambles around the Middle East thinking he looks like and therefore is Jesus. along with videos of him making people dance. And don't give me the whole "hard to find internet" malarkey. We want details. Don't spend your holidays travelling - spend them emailing us! Hope all be well. Keep missing us and one day some of us will reciprocate. And send the sun this way please. safe travels!

Yup - you're really selling Kerman. Are they employing you as their foreign tourism ambassador? I must remember to book it for my next stimulating and picturesque break. xx

Hey Johnnie

Nice Travel Blog... although it sounds like all you ever do is sit on buses or in embassies, wearing the arse out of your trousers!

Glad to see some pictures, tho'.

Sorry I haven't sent that many messages, the sums have been quite hard.

So when you come back you won't have to work at TTS anymore!! I did wonder how that was going to pan out for you... I cold see OV plotting his salary negotiations with you in his spare moments alone in bed at night (whilst his wife feeds the baby!)

There are worse things in Afghanistan than weed... you watch yourself Mr. Davis: How will you contine your journey, Mr. Davis, if you have smoked too much poppy, and... can't... walk!

Stay Beardy!
