By now, I've read all of Tony's books (and those of many other travellers!) and it seemed a logical next step to take a famous travel guide's collection of supposedly funny travel stories...Sadly, the promised “disaster stories” here are mostly of the following variety...“Look, I did this and this is why: (long-winded explanations)”“I could have died from that long walk, the road traffic, my inability to overcome inertia, (blah blah)!”“And, lo and behold, I dangerously sprained my ankle!”This is neither very entertaining nor does it make for a good read which is why I'm abandoning this for good.One star out of five.Blog Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest Medium Matrix TumblrCeterum censeo Putin esse delendam
