Comical encounters involving stray dogs, rendering half a town without power, outlandish dining experiences… That’s just for starters as Nick James whisks you away to Goa in this terrifically entertaining escapade.
Being his first visit to the subcontinent, Nick doesn’t know quite what to expect. Rather than offer any form of guidance, Jack – Nick’s friend and travelling companion who has visited India once before – prefers to stand back and laugh as Nick stumbles his way into the local customs. His initial fumbling is but a prelude as a host of funny, bizarre and seemingly unconquerable situations start to present themselves with rib-tickling regularity.
As they explore the state, meeting an unfathomably diverse selection of the gene pool, Nick’s spirit is nourished by some truly heartwarming moments where human connection transcends cultures. Experiencing just about every human emotion there is along the way, he starts to bare some of his soul as he comes to realise that what started out as just an adventure is becoming far more.
Laden with insights from the author of several travel articles published in Melbourne’s “The Age” newspaper, this is the second book of the ‘Global Interludes’ series.
