The taxi driver had already threatened violence and the darkened back streets of Johannesburg were not the place to disagree on cab fares.

Book excerpt: This is the story of two journeys, one which makes its way towards the slopes and summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and another which takes a curving inner path into the soul of the narrator. Encouraged by his wife, who accompanies him, Hamish Malcolm undertakes a journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro, not only to return his father's Bible but also to scatter his father's ashes - one of his father's final wishes. The outer journey is one in which he comes to know Kilimanjaro, its subtleties, its extremes and the crippling effects of altitude sickness. It leads to a dramatic life-threatening encounter with another climber, introducing him to a figure from his past: someone he wanted to forget. This story speaks to people individually and draws attention to one of our greatest challenges as human beings, to be first and foremost self-questioning.

Download or read book 1 000 Places to See Before You Die written by Patricia Schultz and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 1217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world’s bestselling travel book is back in a more informative, more experiential, more budget-friendly full-color edition. A #1 New York Times bestseller, 1,000 Places reinvented the idea of travel book as both wish list and practical guide. As Newsweek wrote, it “tells you what’s beautiful, what’s fun, and what’s just unforgettable— everywhere on earth.” And now the best is better. There are 600 full-color photographs. Over 200 entirely new entries, including visits to 28 countries like Lebanon, Croatia, Estonia, and Nicaragua, that were not in the original edition. There is an emphasis on experiences: an entry covers not just Positano or Ravello, but the full 30-mile stretch along the Amalfi Coast. Every entry from the original edition has been readdressed, rewritten, and made fuller, with more suggestions for places to stay, restaurants to visit, festivals to check out. And throughout, the book is more budget-conscious, starred restaurants and historic hotels such as the Ritz, but also moderately priced gems that don’t compromise on atmosphere or charm. The world is calling. Time to answer.

With anchor down, we jumped into a dinghy to explore the dense jungle the stream penetrated. After a hundred yards or so, we stopped the outboard. Now the fauna slowly recovered from our racket and jungle noises began: bugs, birds, and mystery sounds. We saw colorful parrots and then-by the hundreds-the brilliant scarlet ibis. Then monkeys! Totally quiet, they watched us intently, warily, irritated by our encroachment into their world.

Book excerpt: University graduation, the reality of working life, thwarted love and the terrifying prospect of growing up - the traditional breeding ground for many amazing adventures and ideas. So when, in this atmosphere of anxiety and dread, two strangers, Ian and Alan, started playing a simple game of pool in the local pub, it was almost inevitable that a life changing idea would be born. In a desperate effort to hide the fact that he was losing badly, Alan tried to distract Ian from the table: "Did you see the football last night? Have you found a job ? Do you fancy cycling to Africa?" It only took a second, but that was it. Ian's eyes lit up and EyeOnAfrica was born. (Alan still lost the game). So, despite never having done anything quite like it before, the two students start to plan what would undoubtedly become the greatest road trip of their lives, a 12,000-mile bicycle ride from London to Cape Town. EyeOnAfrica is their fascinating story.

Early in 1960 I hitchhiked with a Jewish friend to Nairobi, East Africa. From there I continued alone. David wanted to avoid the Moslem lands. From Uganda the Nile carried me to the Sudan, where primitive Nilotic people greeted me. In Egypt I explored the temples of Ramses II carved out of a cliff at Abu Simbel. Later these were relocated avoiding flooding. I hitched through Greece and communist Yugoslavia, eventually returning to my London family, March 1960.
