Описание: The story of a young man who travelled along the "Hippy Trail" to India in 1972, narrated through "Myhat". With little money and no travel experience, Al meets Myhat in Greece and they travel together through places few westerners would visit today, crossing Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Of the many that travelled the Trail and survived, few have told their unique and remarkable stories, this is one, told now by Myhat. "Let me introduce myself. "I am called Myhat. I was also known as Kapelomou. "I am quite an old hat. I was made decades ago. "I had been passed many times to different heads, yet had seldom found one that I felt really comfortable on. "About forty years ago, everything changed. I found myself upon a head that I had a close affinity with and I found myself seeing, hearing, smelling much through this young man, Al - and even picking up on his emotions and thoughts. "I was lost then for several years, stored in a cupboard until, once again, I found myself on Al's head and now I can tell my tales. "Al and I spent some nine months together on our first trip, visiting many big cities and several small villages, in eight countries, all different, all new to myself and my new head - an adventure of a lifetime. "I sat on Al's head and witnessed all sorts of strange places and events while we travelled to India and then to the UK. "When Al arrived back in the UK, he was quite ill, having suffered from a problem called Infectious Hepatitis and also dysentery. Al went to his parent's house in Wales and then to hospital. But after he was in that hospital, I was never on his head so often. "I didn't know what was happening. Why was Al leaving me? How long was I to be here? What would become of me now? Would I get a new head? Would I get more adventures? Would I be treasured or neglected? "Then one day, Al took me out of my box and put me back on his head. "That is how I came to find myself back on Al's head. I have been on and off Al's head for about forty years and now I can tell my tales. We have done a lot of travelling over those forty years." |
