Uneasy Rider - Allie Sommerville

The ultimate antidote-to-travel book! A European Odyssey where brakes fail on mountain passes ...a witch curses...Germans travel in a Tardis. If you ever thought a trip around Europe in a second-hand camper van would be fun, then this has been written for you. If not, just enjoy the ups and downs of the ride. Along the way, discover how to avoid being robbed more than once in Rome and why you shouldn't attempt to take a camper van into one of the pueblos blancos in Andalucia. 'Uneasy Rider' takes a humorous and wry view of independent travel. When people, places and campsites intermingle, things can never be dull. Adventure has never been our heroine's middle name, and travelling hundreds of miles in an unreliable vehicle doesn't help. With her imagination often in overdrive, luckily situations are not always as bad as they seem, but when things really do go wrong, somehow her level-headed Other Half always manages to save the day. This is a collection of sometimes harrowing but always entertaining tales experienced over several years and during times of so-called 'relaxation'. Though not a guidebook, there is good advice for first-timers, while experienced 'campervanistas' will nod their heads in recognition.
