Anyway, Where Was I?: Geoff Hill's Alternative A-Z of the World

Anyway, Where Was I?: Geoff Hill's Alternative A-Z of the World

by Geoff Hill (Author)

Synopsis

'You see, for me, travel is like love. When I go away for a few days, every six weeks or so, it gives me that feeling you get when you fall in love: when you wake every morning with a song in your heart, fling back the shutters and go walking through the rain-washed streets with a spring in your step' - Geoff Hill. Equipped with notebook, pen, boundless enthusiasm and a knack of meeting the most interesting local characters, Geoff Hill travels the world in this collection of the very best of his travel writing. With his taste for the absurd - yodelling, llama trekking and dormouse hunting - and his sense of adventure - Saharan charity treks fuelled by Tayto crisps, microlight trips to the Shetlands and wolf-hunting in Sweden - this is no ordinary travel guide. Hold on tight and brace yourself for an unforgettable trip - from Azerbaijan to Zagreb, via China, Donegal, Romania, Tunisia and everywhere in between.

Media Reviews
'A brilliant read, a book I simply couldn't put down. You become part of the adventure and all its ups and downs, and the book is bloody funny. It's like a cross between Ted Simon and Flann O'Brien - - a cracker!'Hairy Biker Dave Myers
