Jasmins in Cowpads Penny & Stuart McFarlane

Travelling the world from your armchair! Travel journal recording the experiences of travelling the world in your fifties. This book has been written in response to a demand for information based on our personal experience of travelling the world in our fifties. It is not a book about staying in good hotels, in pleasant places using trouble free transport but rather about doing what many of us, as fifty or sixty somethings, wished we could have done in our twenties. This is then how Jasmins in Cowpads differs from the normal travel guide. In a series of brief but colourful snapshots it offers a first hand account of a journey around India and Nepal, from Thailand down through Malaysia and Singapore, up the east coast of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Mexico, returning via the US. With thought-provoking reflections and humorous observations it invokes the sights, sounds and smells of our sometimes amazing, sometimes appalling experiences en route and then provides a page of factual information on how to do it yourself.
