About this listen

When Ted Simon rode 64,000 miles round the world on his 500c Triumph Tiger, he inspired thousands of motorcyclists to begin their own adventures, including Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, who chronicled their travels in Long Way Round. Nearly 30 years later, Ted Simon took to the road again to retrace the epic journey he made in his 40s. He meets up with old friends and acquaintances, revisits old landmarks and locations, and rediscovers himself, as well as the world, along the way. Dreaming of Jupiter is a remarkable achievement and a fitting sequel to Jupiter’s Travels, the groundbreaking classic of motorcycle adventure.

After listening to the Ted's first book and enjoyed it so much I just had to get this too. Again it's very well written and superbly narrated however it is a different book to the first - how can anything be similar after 28 years? It can't, and it comes through, none the less it makes for a very good listen and one that makes you feel admiration for someone who took on an adventure like this at the age he did. I would recommend this book especially if you've read, or listened, to Jupiters Travels as you'll see why repeating something isn't always a good thing along with many other insights as to how our world is changing.

I was in two minds about getting Ted Simon's second Audiobook after falling in love with his first.

I had "sequel anxiety", but I'm so glad I did.

The world has changed a lot but his adventures continue , his insights are profound, and listening to the end today almost brought me to tears.
A life well lived.
What an incredible feat again, 20 odd years later.
He's an absolute legend, and am in awe of his tenacity and spirit.
Highly recommended.
Thanks for your memories Ted.

What a sequel
