The Old Patagonian Express tells of Paul Theroux s train journey down the length of North and South America. Beginning on Boston s subway, he depicts a voyage from ice-bound Massachusetts to the arid plateau of Argentina s most southerly tip, via pretty Central American towns and the ancient Incan city of Macchu Pichu. Shivering and sweating by turns as the temperature and altitude rise and plummet, he describes the people he encountered thrown in with the tedious, and unavoidable, Mr Thornberry in Lim n and reading to the legendary blind writer, Jorge Luis Borges, in Buenos Aires. Witty, sharply observed and beautifully written, this is a richly evocative account of travelling to the end of the line .

Once notorious for the tyranny of Idi Amin, immortalized in the film The Last King of Scotland, Uganda has, for the last twenty-six years or so, struggled to overcome its negative image. It has largely been successful. Rated the best country to visit in 2012, it was one named of the best tourist destinations of 2013 by National Geographic magazine. In addition to its game parks, home to the Big Five, Uganda has one of the largest numbers of recorded bird species of any country. It is also the home of the famed mountain gorillas, and the mighty Nile River provides some of the best whitewater rafting in the world. Add to this an almost perfect climate and spectacular sightseeing, including the source of the Nile, Murchison Falls, the "e;little Switzerland"e; of Kabale, the volcanic lakes, and the Rwenzori Mountains, and one can understand why Winston Churchill called Uganda "e;the Pearl of Africa."e; But Uganda not only has wildlife and natural beauty to offer-the Ugandan people are what makes it different. Drawn from over fifty tribes, they make up a rich blend of traditions. You can sample this in dance and song performances by groups such as the Ndere Troup, or you can wander through the capital city, or any village, and get to know the local people, as English is widely spoken. You will find them sociable, warm, and hospitable. Kampala is famous as the social capital of East Africa, the city that never sleeps, where every kind of nightlife is on offer, and Ugandans have now been officially rated the happiest people in East Africa! All this is what makes Uganda special. Inevitably there are cultural pitfalls for the unwary traveler-differences in expectations, mores, and ways of behaving. This book provides key insights into Ugandan life and offers practical tips on how best to meet the Ugandan people on their own terms, vital information for tourists and businessmen alike.

This book on the very popular Everest Trek via Gokyo and the Cho La pas is an image based narrative by mountain climber and guide Bo Belvedere Christensen. It's is based on a trek that he led during an autumn trip and the experiences that met him and his group during this beautiful trek through one of The Worlds most amazing mountain regions. The descriptions are based on the authors extensive experience with the area since arriving here first time in 1988 to climb Ama Dablam, and since spending several years in total in the Everest region.

Overalt, hvor hen man ser, er de der - heksene. Hekse i alle mulige størrelser, lige fra de bittesmå til de kæmpe store. Der er de farvestrålende, de morsomme og de grusomme, men de har alle et strejf af humor. De findes overalt, i vinduerne, under tagudhæng, som dekoration på væggene, på souvenirforretningernes stativer, skåret ud af et gammelt træ eller der hvor man har fundet ledig plads. Man kan derfor med rette kalde Harzen for heksenes land. Harzen er heldigvis meget mere end blot hekse, og er ikke længere stedet, hvor ens bedsteforældre tager på ferie. Efter Berlinmurens fald, i 1989, er der lukket op for den del af Harzen, der før var lukket land for vesterlændingene. Harzen har rigtig meget at byde på, både for ung og gammel. Hvad med en tur med de gamle damptog til toppen af Harzen - Brocken - eller hvad med en is foran det smukke røde rådhus i Wernigerode eller måske udforske de historiske gader i Quedlinburg. Mulighederne er mange og venter kun på besøg. Harzen - Heksenes Land er skrevet af en tidligere rejseleder, der har kørt i Harzen, og kender til de mange små veje, hvor man i mange kilometer kun ser grantræer. Bogen rummer historier, sagn, personlige erfaringer og tips til dem der ønsker at opleve Harzen for første gang eller på en ny måde. Det hele fortalt med et glimt i øjet og et smil på læben.

Wolfgangsee er beliggende i det naturskønne Salzkammergut i hjertet af Østrig. Langs den smaragdgrønne sø finder man byerne Sankt Wolfgang, Strobl og Sankt Gilgen. Fra Wolfgangsee er der ikke langt til kejserbyen Bad Ischl, som i mange år var stedet, hvor kejser Franz Joseph og kejserinde Sisi opholdte sig i sommermånederne. Selvom Bad Ischl ikke har direkte adgang til Wolfgangsee, så er denne by også kommet med i denne bog. Wolfgangsee indbyder til aktiv ferie, men hvis man er mere til ro og fred, er dette også muligt. Wolfgangsee gemmer på mange historier, og det gør denne bog også. Hvad har eksempelvis operetten 'Im Weißen Rößl am Wolfgangsee' til fælles med den danske film 'Sommer i Tyrol'? Ja, det må man læse denne bog for at finde ud af. 'Wolfgangsee - et stykke af paradis' er Rejseskribentens fjerde rejsebog. Rejseskribenten er tidligere rejseleder, der har en passion for fotografi og gode, gerne ukendte, historier, der fortælles med et glimt i øjet. Rejseskribenten elsker at rejse, primært, i Tyskland og Østrig.
