Ever thought you might never go on that holiday of a lifetime? That there wasn’t enough money to fund the trip, or not enough time available to do it proper justice – or maybe that it was never the right time to go?
Take heart, you are not alone there.
Let this book serve as inspiration that these dreams can come true if you really want them to.
Part humorous travelogue, part tourist guide, this is the true account of such a trip to the other side of the world taken by a young at heart (but very unfit) middle aged couple who try to experience as much of New Zealand as they can in a very packed five weeks.
Stunningly spectacular scenery and wonderful wildlife combine with a passion for engineering, the enjoyment of the open road, and a chilled bottle of wine waiting to be enjoyed at the end of the day. Does life get anymore idyllic?
But this is the real world and not everything runs smoothly or according to plan. There are frustrations, disappointments and even injury along the way.
Written with Mark’s own twist, occasionally channelling the spirits of Victor Meldrew and Jack Dee, but also inspired by the works of Bill Bryson and Michael Palin; this book is bound to be enjoyed by anyone who has ever been on, is planning, or simply likes the idea of a longer holiday.
Maps of each section of the trip are included too.
And if you don’t like the words, there are over 60 full size photos to enjoy.
How can you go wrong?
