That's very kind, and I'll pass on to Simon. I've never quoted the Nobel Prize winner in my write ups, and I do have a few signed copies of his work. I do remember a few lines come into my head, from Lake Isle of Inisfree, by Yeates. It was in Zambia I believe, and I saw a guy building a round hut, applying clay to the wooden stakes forming the outer wall.
"I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made..."
When I reflect on things I see as I ride through countries, I wish I'd taken the time to stop and learn more about what is going on. Here was an opportunity to understand how those huts were built. The pressure of getting to the destination is a big driver of course. Despite these reflections, I'm not sure I'll travel differently next time.
