.Riding High
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Ted Simon

1998-08
I am sorry. It did not do it for me. I read some of the earlier reviews and wanted more of 'Jupiter’s Travels'. They are wrong. Undoubtedly, ‘Jupiter’ is a fantastic and scintillating read. This book certainly allows you into Ted's life but it does not do what it purported to do. That is, it does not fill in the gaps from the first book. OK, it does a little bit in the beginning and very end - and that was interesting but... Whilst the first book was crisp and concise - it had to be, to fit in the level of detail – ‘Riding High’ is unnecessarily verbose. Why use one word when many will do?

I finished the book but it became a struggle as I longed for motorcycle adventures through a multitude of ... Read More:

.Quiet Corners of Paris: Unexpected Hideaways, Secret Courtyards, Hidden Gardens
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Jean-Christophe Napais

October 25, 2007
Planning a trip to Paris? Then this is the very thing to take along. Turn a trip to (possibly) the most beautiful capital city on earth into an exquisite adventure!

I have been to Paris many times before, and thought I knew the city well. I even imagined that I knew it's quiet spots. I was wrong. Here, arranged by `arrondissement' is a brief but compelling guide to spots you might otherwise miss in the rush to `Do Paris' in a few days.

Skip lunch at a crowded restaurant once or twice during your stay, and instead buy yourself a baguette and something devilishly sweet from one of the many pastry shops (and even a bottle of wine) and head for one of these `Quiet Corners'. Or take a pre-dinner stroll around Montmartre, as ... Read More:

.Shooting Caterpillars in Spain: Two Innocents Abroad in Andalucia
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Alex Browning

October 15, 2005
I really enjoyed this fast moving and thoroughly amusing tale. Alex has painted a vivid and fascinating picture of life for a brave but innocent couple buying their first property in Spain. The succession of difficult but hilarious situations and her perception and description of all the colourful characters involved kept me riveted to the end.

.The World's Most Dangerous Places: 5th Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Robert Young Pelton

April 07, 2003
Whilst Lonely Planet Guides - and their various knock-offs - tell you the basics of travelling to the places you think you'd like to go to, DP tells you all about the places you really don't want to go to, what to do when you get there, and how to come back in one piece. Written by a motley collection of adventurers and war correspondents (who have a terrifying attrition rate - at least two contributors to previous editions are now dead) DP is not only a guide book to war zones and danger, but also an excellent grounding in the geopolitical realities of how those places got like that, and a guidebook to surviving the travails and difficulties of being a western traveller in the Thrid World.
Where else would you find chapters on how to survive ... Read More:
