I'd guess late sixties, early seventies. Would have to look at photos or ask my uncle to know for sure. He did all sorts of stuff like this, travelled the globe, lived, raced, and worked in Africa. Grandma spent a lot of time worrying between irregular telegrams..

Back then, it sounds like you could have really had a crazy adventure. I wish the world was still like that.
