:-)
in the late 70s, in West-Berlin, there was (still) talk of just such a service.
Berlin to Kabul, five or six weeks overland by bus. (guessing the cost was
little more than the petrol money)

thanks, had not thought of/remembered that phrase. (imo, Wikipedia is one of
very few examples of the interweb not having gone wrong)
regards, jr.

It all started in 1957 with the Indiaman buses - see
http://www.indiaman.101answers.com/ - even before Afghanistan officially
opened its borders for tourists, which was only in 1959! Interestingly,
otherwise than the "classic" hippie trail, the (initial) route of the
Indiaman, left out Kurdistan, but instead fully ran though the Near East
including Jerusalem (which after the Six Days War of 1967 probably was
no longer feasible)... and they entered Afghanistan not, like 60s/70s
hippies mostly did, via Islam Qal'a to Herat, but from Quetta via Spin
Boldak to Kandahar! Back then, the Kandahar-Kabul road was not even
metalled...
And what has this all to do with raytracing and 3D modeling? POVEarth,
as it develops in the coming decades, surely will also provide a solid
geographic background for the virtual rebirth of the hippie trail! Even
more so as I plan to model the whole thing also in X3D... this would be
real-time interactive!
See you in Khyberspace!
