To go backpacking around Asia on crutches only three weeks after having surgery to repair a smashed-up foot was, at the least, ill-advised, foolhardy, and a potential recipe for disaster, - if not just plain stupid. As it turns out, the trip proves to be one of Bill and Anita's best adventures ever and just the tonic they needed. Struggling to adapt to the heat, the discomfort, and the problems that come with the new-found disability, they meet a host of wonderful people and are reminded that the world really is filled with love, care and compassion. And while having lots of fun and making marvellous memories, Bill gradually discovers that it's more than just his foot that needed healing.
