Description

A collection of hilarious and compelling insights and anecdotes, diary entries, poems, true facts and cartoons on travel from Karl Pilkington. This is the travel book for people who dont particularly like travelling, its Karl Pilkington with a suitcase, occasionally with his passport, more often with a bemused suspicion of anything vaguely exotic, and an observant eye for the disappointments, tedium, general weirdness and absurdities of being a tourist abroad and at home. From staring at Mount Vesuvius in case it erupts and the horrors of a Lanzarote nudist beach to the curiosities to be seen in the worlds weirdest museum. Told with his inimitable deadpan humour, Pilkingtons stories are interspersed with fond reflections on life back in England, from Salford joy riders to what his girlfriends mum and dad have for dinner on a Thursday (its chops and veg. in case youre wondering).
