Completely Round the Bend
Author: Alistair McGuinness
Publisher: Matador
ISBN: 9781780887272
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
It was clear we were in danger. The taxi driver had already threatened violence and the darkened back streets of Johannesburg were not the place to disagree on cab fares. I pulled out my camping knife in preparation, ready to defend my wife as our ranting driver sped into the night. We were only hours away from a night flight to Australia and the chance of a starting a new life Down Under. Completely Round the Bend is an adventure travel story that begins on a cold December in England with the decision to leave home forever. From the lush slopes of Kilimanjaro to the remote sand dunes of Namibia, the story depicts life on an Overland truck across Africa and the dream of one day reaching the harsh Australian outback.

Thorns to Kilimanjaro
Author: Ian McCallum
Publisher: New Africa Books
ISBN: 9780864863591
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
This is the story of two journeys, one which makes its way towards the slopes and summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and another which takes a curving inner path into the soul of the narrator. Encouraged by his wife, who accompanies him, Hamish Malcolm undertakes a journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro, not only to return his father's Bible but also to scatter his father's ashes - one of his father's final wishes. The outer journey is one in which he comes to know Kilimanjaro, its subtleties, its extremes and the crippling effects of altitude sickness. It leads to a dramatic life-threatening encounter with another climber, introducing him to a figure from his past: someone he wanted to forget. This story speaks to people individually and draws attention to one of our greatest challenges as human beings, to be first and foremost self-questioning.

1,000 Places to See Before You Die
Author: Patricia Schultz
Publisher: Workman Publishing
ISBN: 0761156860
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 1217
Book Description
The world’s bestselling travel book is back in a more informative, more experiential, more budget-friendly full-color edition. A #1 New York Times bestseller, 1,000 Places reinvented the idea of travel book as both wish list and practical guide. As Newsweek wrote, it “tells you what’s beautiful, what’s fun, and what’s just unforgettable— everywhere on earth.” And now the best is better. There are 600 full-color photographs. Over 200 entirely new entries, including visits to 28 countries like Lebanon, Croatia, Estonia, and Nicaragua, that were not in the original edition. There is an emphasis on experiences: an entry covers not just Positano or Ravello, but the full 30-mile stretch along the Amalfi Coast. Every entry from the original edition has been readdressed, rewritten, and made fuller, with more suggestions for places to stay, restaurants to visit, festivals to check out. And throughout, the book is more budget-conscious, starred restaurants and historic hotels such as the Ritz, but also moderately priced gems that don’t compromise on atmosphere or charm. The world is calling. Time to answer.
