Long Way Down is a pretty good one. It doesn't have quite the number of...snafus, I suppose, simply because they have experience with doing such a massive trip this time. It is pretty good, though. Actually, the stuff they did in Rwanda has me kinda wanting to maybe take a little journey off that way during my African excursion...the mountain gorillas are supposed to be pretty amazing to see in person. And there IS going to be a third one. Possibly starting at the Southern tip of Argentina and then finishing up in Northern Alaska or the Territories.

Very good read like you said Cliff. I started the Long Way Down but have not got into it as much. I think I tried to read both right after the other. The thing I like about the book(s) are they picture both Ewan and Charley as "normal" people instead of their famousness. It really depicts Ewan as this normal guy who loves to ride his bike and all the misfortunes and hardships they encounter which make these books a great read. I saw one of the BBC shows while flying on Air Canada. Looks interesting since I've read the book now. On our trip to Greece I picked up this book called "No Such Thing as a Free Ride?". It's a compilation of hitchhiking stories from various writers. If you like the travel thing and are interested in crazy and interesting hitchhiking stories I highly recommend it. However there was this one chapter in there that just really was totally fucked up. I thought I was on heroin or something when I was reading it, very trippy.
