Synopsis
In 1974 Ted Simon set out on a round-the-world trip by motorbike, a journey he recounted in 'Jupiter's Travels'. 24 years later, at the age of 69, Ted decided to retrace his journey. How much had the world changed? How much had he changed?

Review
He was on the road for three years, and his new book, Dreaming of Jupiter, is a compelling account of the adventures en route, including breaking a leg in the middle of a vast plain in Ethiopia; a reunion with a camel rider he'd met 25 years before in Eg * SAGA MAGAZINE * A trip of dreams - and Ted Simon has done it twice . . . a terrific read * RTE GUIDE * This book has barely left my side in the past few days. It is, by turns, sad, funny and immensely uplifting * TELEGRAPH * Gloriously luminescent, but always self-deprecating. Simon's physical powers are diminishing, but his writing just gets better. The wonderful portraits of the people he encounters, often redolent of Bruce Chatwin, are sometimes so enticing that, were this a movie, you'd swear they were a plant for later on * OBSERVER *
