Travels with Boogie

Category : England
Languages : en
Pages : 434

Book Description
Travels with Boogie is the story of two city slickers - one an unattractive but streetwise mongrel from Stockwell, the other the long-suffering author - and how they came to terms with England's countryside and waterways. First they had to survive against all odds as they embarked on a heroic journey up hill and down dale, with rucksacks full of Kennomeat, along Britain's longest coastal footpath - from Somerset to Devon, from Cornwall to Dorset. And they did it. Then, undaunted, they took on the treacherous waters of the Thames. Not exactly as Mark had planned, however: this time his companion was to be the delectable Jennifer - but she was held up at the office, and when Boogie was dropped off at the kennels the other dogs complained. Travels with Boogie is a witty and fascinating account of a mismatched couple and of the people they meet and places they visit.

Book Description
A family holiday with toddlers can be challenging at the best of times. Despite the obstacles, photojournalist Catherine Lanz and her husband Byron decide to do it the hard way. Finding themselves at one of life’s crossroads, they resolve to take the gap and show their children the landscapes, wildlife and peoples of southern Africa. So they pack Kira (3) and Tom (4) and a stuffed rabbit called ‘Roadi Killi’ into their trusty Toyota Fortuner 4x4, hitch up a trailer and set off on an ambitious 10-month circuit through South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia. In the course of this 20 000-kilometre odyssey, they meet many unique characters (and some interesting people, too) and discover their passion for the vibrant and generous soul of Africa. Travels with a Roadkill Rabbit captures all the warmth and humour of this amazing journey, together with the frustrations, irritations and occasional disasters that can befall an expedition - especially when you run out of Jelly Tots. Catherine Lanz spent 10 years on the staff of South Africa’s premier travel magazine Getaway. Currently a freelance photojournalist, her work has appeared in magazines such as Wine, Life, Mango Juice, Hamba Kahle and Pinnacle, as well as in the books Africa Adventure Atlas and, more recently, Africa Lens.
