long way round

for the last few weeks, watching long way down on SBS has been our programme on wed nights... now sadly it has finished... we have been searching for other things to watch...
then...

this appeared on the shelf at the local lib
we polished it off, 10 episodes plus extra features and all during the wkend!

since the "road to dakar" is on order at the local lib, i borrowed the "long way round - chasing shadows across the world"...
i haven't read many books that i didn't want to put down... this is one of them... so diff from the TV series... it talks about the journey on an emotional level, plus there are more little funhy & introspective bits and pieces...
highly recommended! how wonderful it is to have a buddy to go around the world searching for adventures...
