Backpacking with Bryn- OUZO NIGHTS by BRYN M PARRY (8 Reviews)    Price verified 13 hours ago

What happens when that dreaded day draws near signifying the end of student-life and the beginning of some kind of eternal paid employment existence? Well... I tend to phone up my old schoolmate Shaun and ask him if he'd like to go backpacking... for perhaps the last time ever. The jaunt in question involved the lugging of packs around Corfu, Athens, Crete and Santorini. As well as getting seriously stuffed with a series of outrageously good meals we managed to collect some vivid memories of awesome natural phenomena, take part in a real-life rescue, emerge victorious from an insane football vendetta with Club 18 to 30, got robbed again and, most unfortunately, gained a real feeling that the whiff of misogyny was out and about in the hot Hellenic air...

Gateway of India: Discover India | Photojournals (Heritage of India Book 2) by David Riley (1 Review)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Introduction Completed in 1924, the Gateway of India is an archway-shaped monument, built along the Arabian Sea in Bombay (now Mumbai). It was constructed to commemorate the landing of Queen Mary and King George V, on their Indian visit in 1911. Standing at 26 metres (85 feet) high, the arched structure was used as a symbolic ceremonial entrance to India, used by Viceroys and Governors of the British Empire ruling in India. Hence the name, "Gateway of India." The foundation stone of the stone structure was laid on March 31, 1913. The construction of the monument started in 1914, after the final design by George Wittet was sanctioned; and the building was completed in 1924. Since then, it has been one of the symbols of the city of Bombay/Mumbai. Today, it is treated as a historical monument and stands as one of the most visited tourist attractions in the city. History The original intention for building the Gateway of India, was to honour the visit of Queen Mary and King George V to Bombay in 1911, prior to the 'Delhi Durbar' (also known as Imperial Durbar) of December 1911. However, the structure wasn't ready during the time of their visit, and they only got to see a cardboard model of the structure; with the actual structure being completed only in 1924. The land on which the 'Gateway' was to be built, was earlier a crude jetty, used by the local fishing community. Plans were then made to renovate and reclaim pieces of land, to construct a ceremonial landing place for top British officials and other important people. According to the original plans, the Gateway of India would've been the first structure that anyone would see if coming to Mumbai by boat. The foundation stone of the structure was laid on March 31, 1913 and the construction according to George Wittet's plan began on March 31, 1914. Between 1915 and 1919, work to reclaim the land at Apollo Bundar (Port), took place; in order to reclaim the land where the new sea wall and the monument ...

Spanish Journals: The Posthumous Diary of an Expat: Part Two - Invasion by A R Lowe (Postlethwaite Press) (157 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

- 'This diary, written by my late husband Ernest Postlethwaite, has been published expressly against his wishes, but with the full and hearty endorsement of my family and friends.' - From the introduction to Part One by Pamela Postlethwaite, Javea, Spain, December 2012 This second instalment of Ernest Postlethwaite's ground-breaking journal charters the continuing progress of a man on a mission to achieve cultural and linguistic integration in a small village in southern Spain. As summer approaches, our hero finds himself confronted by undesirable interruptions to the smooth running of his new life, in the shape of summer visitors. How will a man so tethered to the soil and immersed in the life of his new country cope with this alien invasion? This unadulterated manuscript will bring tears to the eyes of the most hard-hearted amongst us, as we follow his footsteps even further into the great unknown. "The calamitous capers of Ernest continue with a vengeance in part two of the journal. A bilingual dog, draconian teaching methods, the near drowning of his nephew and his refusal to follow the uncouth British tradition of slapping on suntan lotion - leading to his endless embarrassment - are just a few of the hilarious highlights. The reader is also introduced to - in Ernest's opinion - Pamela's ghastly family. Their son, Gerald, makes an appearance too with his cracker of a girlfriend in tow, who Ernest takes a fancy to. Pamela again rules the roost, with her effortless integration into Spanish life and scything remarks that keep her hubby in check." - Amazon review By the same author: 'Barry Braithwaite's Last Life', 'The Year that Crime Paid', and 'Thirty Brief Tales from England and Spain' ***** 'Part Three - Consolidation' and 'Part Four - Conclusion' now available. *****

Oahu Travel Guide: Experience Only the Best Places to Stay, Eat, Drink, Hike, Bike, Beach, Surf, Snorkel, and Discover in Oahu Hawaii (Things to Do ... by Oscar Kahekalau (51 Reviews)    Price verified 15 minutes ago

If you're ready to explore the island of Oahu, skipping the tourist traps and hitting only the best of what this beautiful location has to offer, then this book is for you! Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet, or Kindle device. Legend has it that the islands were collectively named after the Polynesian navigator who discovered them, Hawai'iloa. The other islands were named after each of his sons, and one of them was Oahu. Roughly diamond-shaped and divided by a chain of mountains, Oahu was formed by two shield volcanoes. This means that the lava they formed is mostly fluid, allowing it to spill below and form the main valley in the middle, and the two narrower ones facing the sea on either side. Fascinating, isn't it? The same can be said about Oahu and all it has to offer. There's Waikiki, which contains some of the most expensive real estate in the world; there's Pearl Harbor, though thank goodness the Japanese are no longer belligerent; there's spectacular scenery; and of course, there's the beaches and all the bare bodies to ogle (though some would be better off covered, admittedly). Tourism is the island's main industry, so whether its nature you're after, city life with its clubs and shops, or something to do with culture, Oahu has it and more. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn... • Planning an Unforgettable Oahu Getaway • Choosing the Right Place to Stay • Where to Eat and Drink • Best Places to Hike, and Best Places to Bike • Top Five Beaches for Surfing, Swimming, and Snorkeling • Exploring the Local History • Much, much more!

A Long Way From Nowhere: A Couple's Journey on the Continental Divide Trail by Julie Urbanski (836 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

What is it like to hike the length of the Continental Divide Trail? For Matt and Julie, also known as Optimist and Stopwatch, life on the trail meant twenty-seven days without seeing another hiker, six bears encountered within fifteen hours, two sets of maps, a GPS, and a compass to find the trail, and both wildfires and massive flooding to add to the adventure. Hiking the trail also meant a dramatic shift in perspective, a strengthening of love and friendship, and a redefining of the journey. This is the story of the couple's 3,000 mile walk on the Continental Divide Trail, through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. Both Optimist and Stopwatch play a role in narrating the story, revealing how differently they both think and act in the face of challenges but also how well they work together to complement each other. Few people know about the Continental Divide Trail and even fewer have hiked the entire length of it, creating an air of mystery surrounding the trail. Optimist and Stopwatch explore the many layers of the trail life on the Continental Divide Trail as they make their way over desolate terrain, eventually finding solace in the very aspects of the trail that made them question their desire to ever take on such a challenge.

ZIHUATANEJO a true story of exile, love, war, and murder south of the border by Eric L. Bullard (73 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

In the summer of 1994, I stuffed a swimsuit, a couple of paperback books, my passport and a stack of travelers checks into a small daypack and caught a one-way flight to Mexico. I was 36 years old without any real ties in the world, and I had a little money saved up in the bank. But most importantly, I was done with America: the hectic pace, the spiraling cost of living, and the same old routines and monotony. I wanted something different now, something new, something exciting and off the grid. I had originally planned to go to Hawaii and live on the beach. But when a friend pointed out the high cost of living in Hawaii and the comparatively low cost of living in México, I quickly changed my plans and bought a one-way ticket to Puerto Vallarta. I wasn't sure how long I was going to stay in Mexico. But once I got there, I ended up spending the next three and a half years living on the Pacific Coast in a small town called Zihuatanejo. During that time, my entire life completely changed as I dove head first into a country and culture of such diversity, excitement, violence, magic, and passion that still, to this day, I wonder at the meaning of it all.

Realm of the Adventurer: A Journey Beyond Boundaries by Patrick Malyszek (American Real Publishing) (6 Reviews)    Price verified 12 minutes ago

"Your heart and soul are never more apparent until you are alone in the wilderness." - Patrick Malyszek As a young boy I always had a notion there was another side to life, a parallel life that was available to all but only a few that were graced with the ability to acknowledge and experience it. I wanted to find this parallel life and experience what it had to offer as compared to our regular everyday life... but I did not have a clue as to how to find and experience it. I would go into the forest every day regardless of the weather and spend hours and hours just thinking and exploring, trying to determine what the trigger was in order to experience this different side of life. What I learned is that you cannot use your regular life's experiences as the trigger. In order to really reach and experience the other side of life you must have not the ability, but rather the passion and desire to be a person that is willing to break their own social norms and challenge themselves with out of control experiences. These experiences create what I call a "bridge" from our common life to the life of an adventurer, which leads into what I have termed The Realm. A place of true love, support, and confidence. The transition from my common life, which is great by the way, to The Realm, which is mystic, is not an easy task and for most will never be achieved or experienced. But I made it, I found my "bridges" into The Realm. Yes! Bridges. There is not just one way to get into The Realm, there are actually hundreds of ways to get to that special place. My "bridges" into The Realm were found not by pressuring myself, which I had done for years, but through having an open mind to all things. I recall trying so hard but always finding myself a little lost and confused. It existed -- I knew that, but I could not grasp it. At times I would look to the world for the answer but knew deep inside that was wrong. Other times I would look to others for the "bridge" but every time I did ...

Written in her characteristic laid back style, this is a travel tale that will appeal to all those readers who have enjoyed Susie's previous books, as well as anybody who has lived in or dreams of visiting Kenya, the magical land Susie still thinks of as 'home'. "Hemingway wrote: 'I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy.' That is how I feel about Kenya. You feel at once insignificant and amazing, just for being there. This magnificent, beautiful country, birthplace of mankind, owner of my heart."

Carshalton began as a village to the south of London and has a rich history and legacy of public houses.

Found, Lost, Paved and Sunk: Paradise by Jay Maclean (12 Reviews)    Price verified 12 minutes ago

Where is paradise on earth? Somewhere far from the maddening crowds, the cold, the politics, work, of course. People have been searching for their paradise for centuries, even before taxation was invented. The stories of those who wrote about their exploits often reveal more about themselves than the nature of the paradises they sought and sometimes found. Did you know that Sir Walter Raleigh was the world's first pusher of paradise real estate? Or that among the explorers of tropical paradises, the infamous Captain Bligh of the Bounty was quite humane and considerate? Or that Captain James Cook was the first westerner to get a tropical, full body massage -- and was pretty coy about describing it? That the original Shangri-La paradise was a mix of ascetic monks on top of a Tibetan mountain and a tropical village of loose women at its foot? That Thor Heyerdahl and his first wife honeymooned for a whole year in a remote tropical paradise, leading to his Polynesian migration theory and the Kon Tiki expedition? Found, Lost, Paved and Sunk: Paradise explores the mind set of artists, beachcombers, colonial administrators, developers, explorers, hermits, missionaries, mutineers, philosophers, scientists and writers, not to mention the native residents who were already living in the paradises they sometimes describe. Learn about the mechanics and problems of living in a paradise, dealing with neighbors both onshore and offshore, housing, water, and health. Learn about the fate of paradises under colonialism and climate change. Learn also about the opinions of other animals and plants; where is their paradise? The world is changing irreversibly. Where and how does paradise fit into its future? And finally, what does it all really mean? Found, Lost, Paved and Sunk: Paradise tells all. The book is punctuated with tongue-in-cheek tips for paradise seekers but is entirely factual and extensively referenced with about 200 sources, from exploits of early explorers and ...
