Anne Mustoe recounts her journey around the earth, from east to west - by bicycle. She doesn't tell her story place by place, but rather by theme, an approach which overcomes any sense that it is just another travelogue. It is fascinating and totally inspiring, for the route she took was often through very difficult terrain. ( ) Rather than laying out her long round-the-world journey as a chronological narrative, Ms. Mustoe gives highligts, grouped by theme: police encounters, regrets, etc. Interesting approach that helped keep the bookto a manageable length, but not quite the same experience as a "regular" travel book - more like reading an abridged version. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
'You don't have to be twenty, male and an ace mechanic to set out on a great journey. I've cycled round the world twice now. I'm not young, I'm not sporty, I never train and I still can't tell a sprocket from a chainring or mend a puncture.' So speaks Anne Mustoe in the opening to this fascinating record of her second epic journey cycling around the globe from East to West. Using historical routes as her inspiration, Anne followed the ancient Roman roads to Lisbon, travelled across South America with the Conquistadors, pursued Captain Cook over the Pacific to Australia and Indonesia and followed the caravans along the fabled Silk Road from Xi'an to Rome.
