A Weekend Companion.
Selling patent medicine in rural Malaya in the early 1960s, surviving an earthquake and its aftermath in Tehran, and hearing of JFKs assassination from a Chinese gangster in Kuala Lumpur all feature.
There are rants about unsatisfactory toilet blocks in caravan.
Enjoy a TRAVEL tale and a CRYPTIC crossword on each of the 53 weekends possible in a year.
Unconventional, quirky and generally light-hearted, the TALES range from circumnavigating the globe by cargo/passenger and migrant ships and driving an ageing car from Paris to Tehran over bad roads in winter and mostly at night, to hitchhiking in kilts around Europe.
