That was enjoyable, thanks! (And goes a long way towards explaining why most travel writing is so deadly dull: the writer is trying to satisfy travel editors who want all travel articles to read exactly like all other travel articles.) Tell me more about the one-legged man with the sausage...

Heh. Reminds me a bit of that "How to Write about Africa" thing, mentioned here.

His book is quite motivational - it reads like a self-help guide to travel.

Terrific link, thanks. But it's given me a bit of a tense stomach ache. Yes, charming clever travel stuff Sometimes, however - I just want something that starts: "One morning I got up and walked out the door...". (Without the writer immediately telling you "just like Laurie Lee, actually"!)

Enjoyable read. I'm waiting for the sequel, leisuring across Liechtenstein.
