Nuns, Guns and Disappearing Suns: Travel Tales of Adventure, Humour and Discovery

'Inside the temple, monstrous as a giant orchid, sat a golden god. Suddenly, a cymbal clashed, and the chanting stopped...'

Sue had no idea what she might encounter along the road or where her journey would end. Her curiosity to find out what lies over the hill has always led to detours and unexpected destinations-from Concorde's controls to Indian sewerage systems.

When Jeannette accepted a job with the UN in post-conflict Kosovo, she never imagined she'd one day find herself backed against a cliff edge, staring down the wrong end of a sub-machine gun held in the shaky hands of a young greek soldier. She had little warning that the twist and turns of her travels would take her face to face with a mountain lion or to supper with a Morman.

This book takes you on a journey without travel itineraries, internet, guidebooks, or tourist hotspots-just a passion for discovering what lies over the next hill. That's real adventure.
