Travels with M

Travels With M is a sparkling account of Patricia Basso's adventures around the globe with only her faithful fellow traveller, Michael, alias M, to keep her company. This informal and chatty diary overflows with humour as trips to countries as diverse as Egypt, Alaska, Italy and New Zealand are described. Always keen to savour the atmosphere of each country, the author and M tackle the unknown with enthusiasm, and their attempts to master the language of their chosen country frequently produce hilarious misunderstandings which the author faithfully recounts here. Naturally, their travels encompass some of the most famous and remarkable monuments of the world, and Patricia Basso's descriptions of the Pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal and the Grand Canyon, to name just a few, are wonderfully vivid.Whether the author is describing the vibrant beauty of the Great Barrier Reef, the dramatic ruins of past civilisations or the difficulties of riding an unruly camel, this work never fails to entertain.With pertinent facts woven into what is a refreshingly candid personal account, the result is both gripping and enlightening.
