內容簡介: |
Bikes have always been Charley''s first love, but he also
enjoys a challenge. So when the chance comes to travel across three
continents ''by any means'', he jumps right in. Grabbing whatever
local transport he can get his hands on, Charley travels from his
home town in County Wicklow all the way to Australia - a trip of
over 20,000 miles through twenty-five countries. Testing Charley''s
skills and stamina to the limit, this new journey offers him a
unique opportunity to meet people and learn firsthand all about
their countries. He drives a lorry through northern Iran, rides a
tuk-tuk through the chaotic and colourful city of Varanasi, and
becomes the first person ever to wakeboard across the
MalaySingapore border. He sets up his own bus service in Turkey,
takes a slow boat down the Mekong, and a very fast one through
Borneo to deliver vaccines for UNICEF. And of course he jumps on a
bike whenever he can, even if there''s a monsoon on the way ...
