Growing old outrageously - Hilary Linstead

Two old school friends reconnect unexpectedly after thirty-five years and
discover that they both love travelling - and the more exotic and far-flung the
location, the better! Not having a clue whether they will get along, the
eccentric pair embark on a trial journey to Morocco. That tentative beginning
has turned into a series of wonderfully unusual holidays, and Hil and Liz have
been circumnavigating the globe ever since.Among many other destinations,
they have taken in Marrakech, Fez and the Atlas Mountains; Patagonia and the
Galapagos Islands; Istanbul and Cappadocia. They've been on safari in Namibia,
Botswana and the Serengeti, attended music festivals in Naples and Prague and
made a pilgrimage to the western isles of Mull and Iona. Along the way they have
encouraged, enraged and entertained each other, while living through countless
adventures.This is a book for thrillseekers and armchair travellers alike, a
celebration of friendship and laughter - and an inspiration for anyone who's
longed to venture outside their comfort zone and travel to exotic places.
