Unforgettable
Places To See Before You Die Steve Davey On just a quick through this book, before settling down to read you already feel compelled to drag your back pack out of the attic and hand in your notice at work. Its a book for rainy days, to remind you what's out there, and you need to see before it, or you disappears. Its a book for sunny days to help decide on where to explore next. |

Around
The World In 80 Days Michael Palin Joining the first of his great adventures, following in the footsteps of the fictional Phileas Fogg, Micael Palin makes real the journey which author Jules Verne imagined more than a century earlier. From the opulence of the Orient Express to the lurching progress of an Egyptian camel, from the hot and lively streets of Madras to the lofty heights of a hot-air balloon over Colorado. |

Long
Way Round Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman Ewan and Charley take turns to write about the journey, each with a candid view of how each stage affected them including the strain on their friendship and their relationship with the support crew. It's a warts and all view of an epic journey covering the highs and the very lows in personal terms. Having read the book not only do I feel like I travelled with them I have got to know them as well. |

Art Of Travel Alain de Botton Using the travel experiences of great writers and artists, like Van Gogh, Ruskin, Huysmans and Wordsworth, the author shows that men will travel to see beautiful buildings or climb beautiful mountains or make love to beautiful women but also that there is an underlying theme to all travel: the urge for difference, for the rhapsody of change. |
