    Reisverhaal Dreaming of Jupiter | Ted Simon
    Reisverhaal Dreaming of Jupiter | Ted Simon
    Ted Simon is the author of the classic travel book JUPITER'S TRAVELS. It documents his four-year journey round the world by motorbike, travelling through Europe, Africa, South and North America, and Asia. A number one bestseller in the late 1970s, it is still regarded as one of the greatest motorcycle books - indeed, one of the greatest travel books - ever written. In 2001, at the age of 69, Ted Simon decided to retrace his journey, and DREAMING OF JUPITER is the result. It took him two and a half years - during which time he revisited all the countries he had travelled through in the 1970s. He found much had changed, and he reflects upon the increased poverty, political upheavals, environmental issues and indeed the changes in himself. But ultimately, DREAMING OF JUPITER is a hugely inspiring read with a positive message at its heart - that even at the age of 70 you can still set off on an adventure, and be surprised and excited by what life throws at you along the way. *'Gloriously …

    Accommodatiegids Namibia Self-Drive Guide | Tracks4Africa
    So, what is so special about the Tracks4Africa guide books? These are not guides written by armchair travellers or the personal experience of one person, but the combined experiences of a whole community of travellers.

Sometimes they travel in groups and sometimes as lone rangers, but they always travel by motorbike, sedan or 4WD, therefore this guide is specifically aimed at self-drive travellers.   If you are a self-drive tourist, there are five things that you need to know when you are on the road: 1. Where to sleep. 2. Where to get fuel. 3. What to see and do. 4. Where to buy supplies. 5. Where to go in case of an emergency.   If you have the Tracks4Africa Self-Drive Guide as your travel companion, the answers to all these and many more questions will be at hand. If you are well prepared and well informed, you can really enjoy the unspoilt beauty of Africa! The Tracks4Afr…

    Reisgids Sierra Leone | Bradt Travel Guides
    Voor vele landen net zo goed, zo niet beter dan de Planet. Beduidend soberder uitgevoerd, maar ook met veel informatie voor backpackers en met veel kaartmateriaal. Een aanrader! Thoroughly updated by a resident journalist, this new fourth edition of Bradt's Sierra Leone remains the only English-language guide dedicated to this unique West African destination, one of just three countries where the uber-elusive pygmy hippo can be found. One of Africa's last 'hidden gems', where coastal mountains and secluded beaches are the stuff of daydreams, Sierra Leone lives up to its nickname of 'Sweet Salone'. This welcoming country offers much natural beauty and culture, yet remains unsullied by mass tourism.   In many places, local people are happily surprised each time they get visitors, and strive to make your stay the best possible. The country continues to be one of West Africa's best beach destinations and trekking zones, the latter thanks to varied topography and the presence of Mount B…

    Reisgids - Reisverhaal Pocket Atlas of Remote Islands | Judith Schalansky
    'Utterly exquisite.' Robert MacFarlane, Guardian'Gorgeous, lyrical and whimsical.'

Washington Post'Rarely has armchair travel been so farflung and romantic.' Time Out Judith Schalansky was born in 1980 on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall.

    Wegenatlas Travel Atlas Africa West Route: from Tangier to Cape Town | ITMB
    Wegenatlas Travel Atlas Africa West Route: from Tangier to Cape Town | ITMB
    Handzame wegenatlas, formaat A5, van de hele route van Tanger naar Kaapstad langs de westelijke kant van Afrika. Naast de wegenkaarten bevat deze atlas ook een aantal centrumkaarten van de belangrijkste steden die je onderweg tegenkomt.  There are three routes one can follow on an overland expedition from Europe to Cape Town (or the reverse). Last year, ITMB published the eastern route, via Cairo and Sudan to Ethiopia and Kenya. This year, we are pleased to announce the publication of a more practical route to follow, via Tangier, Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Mali and Ghana, through the Congo to Uganda, and then south over a variety of options to Namibia and South Africa. The advantage of this route is that it avoids the conflict-ridden countries closest to infection from the extremist Islam movement. It also avoids the current difficulties of the central route through Algeria (the Hoggar route) and Niger. We do have to caution that all routes through Africa contain risks. Routes are…

    Productomschrijving

    The world is not always what we think it is. This book presents unusual borders, enclaves and exclaves, divided or non-existent cities and islands. Numerous conflicts have left countries divided and often shattered. Remnants of countries can by design or accident be left behind as a legal anomaly in this complex world.

    Most people believe that a country's borders are clearly defined: just lines that separate countries. Everything on one side of the line belongs to one country and everything on the other side belongs to another country. This might be the case most of the time, but there are unusual exceptions to this unwritten rule.

    Examples include:

    - Campione d'Italia where Italian residents have to travel 15km through Switzerland to reach the nearest available Italian territory.
    - Tomb of Suleyman Shah which is a tiny Turkish enclave within Syria which was moved closer to Turkey when Lake Assad was created but still stayed in Syria.
    - Pheasant Island which for half a year belongs to the Spanish city of Irun, and the remaining half, to its French twin-town, Hendaye.
    - Canadian Stanstead and American Beebe Plain where the boundary line runs along the center of the main street, so that the houses on one side of the street are in Canada and on the other in the United States.

    These and many more instances are captured in this fascinating book full of strange geographical intrigue.
