Picked up this book the other day – its got a corresponding BBC TV series that has 10 episodes (i think).\u00a0 This has been an excellent book so far, i’m about 20% through – and I can’t stop reading it!\u00a0 I have to save some for this weekend though, since we’ll be camping.<\/p>\n
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone that enjoys motorcycles and\/or adventure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Here’s the Amazon.com synopsis:<\/p>\n
It started as a daydream. Poring over a map of the world at home one quiet Saturday afternoon, Ewan McGregor — acclaimed actor and self-confessed bike nut — noticed that it was possible to ride all the way round the world, with just one short hop across the Bering Strait from Russia to Alaska. It was a revelation he couldn’t get out of his head. So he picked up the phone and called his fellow actor-slash-biker friend Charley Boorman and told him it was time to hit the road….<\/p>\n
Beginning in London, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russia; across the Pacific to Alaska; then down through Canada all the way to New York. Long Way Round<\/em> is the result of their four-month, 20,000-mile joyride. Featuring original diary entries, travel maps, mileage charts, and dozens of photographs, this is a freewheeling, fully charged, and uproariously entertaining book about two world-famous individuals who chose the road not taken…and made the journey worthwhile.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Writen in diary-entry type style you get to read from both Ewan’s and Charley’s point of view.\u00a0 Some parts have already had me sitting there with a big shit-eating grin on my face with people around me wondering what was wrong with me… and i’m barely into it!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only a little over $10 from Amazon, its totally worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
