We stared in Amsterdam and took the Orient Express to Istanbul. We stay there for a week then caught a bus across Turkey. We took a bus, then a jeep across many of the same countries you took Rick, and the same route. We stayed a month in Kabul, where I sung in a little cafe for my dinner, and played my guitar, then on to Delphi for a month, then 2 months in Kathmandu. I loved Nepal. I spent a year backpacking on the hippie road. My camera was stolen in Kabul and all my film. Sadly no photos, but my memories are sharp. Hello to a fellow traveler.

I had so many adventures on my year long backpacking trip from Istanbul to Kathmandu, starting in Amsterdam.
