Planes, Trains and Sinking Boats: My Travels Through A World Of Mishaps

A wonderful collection of true life travel tales. If you have bad luck and that your holidays are cursed, think again. Stephen Liddell has spent more than a decade backpacking across the U.K. Europe and the Middle East. Cars blowing up, boats sinking, trains derailing, are just some of the every day problems he's encountered. It's not just the travelling of course, it is the people, the places, the lousy hotels and the awful food poisoning. Whether being trampled by sheep when camping, being wrongly held by security as a terrorist, asked for money at gunpoint in the desert or getting married in a former Communist state whilst drowning in red tape and bribes. Stephen Liddell has been to these places so that you don't have to. A raucously funny travelogue for those who think the best part of travelling is reading others (disastrous) and colourful tales. You'll never want to set foot outside your door again!
