The authors first work, set in the early eighties, tells of a young Englishman's adventures on the road. A tale of contrasts; as the hard toil of continental truck-driving finances the months of sun on the Riviera. A unique view of harsh winters in Communist Eastern Europe. Set against a Mediterranean beach bum's easy going way of life. From Ipswich to Istanbul. From Rupelon to Ramatuelle. Written in a style somewhere between Kerouac and Bryson. Filled with more humour and bite than the average account of journeys to distant lands. A book for the aficionado of travel writers who tell it like it is. Suitable for readers aged 18 years and over.
