Are you going far?

Several times a day already we have been asked by fellow travellers "are you going far" The first time in the hotel in London which of course elicited the response "to Shanghai!" with the description of the trip which so many of you have  heard us tell over the last 11 months
To the man on the train from Brussels to Cologne yesterday I said "you may wish you had not asked that question" He like everyone else was interested but was also worried about his own trip to Heidelberg as he had not been on holiday for many years. Great chats with fellow travellers. Everyone has a tale to tell.
I did ask him who he was meeting and his reply was that it was a 22 year old who looked like Audrey Hepburn, he declined my offer to stand in for him for a couple of days!
