I love travel literature! I've read everything by Bill Bryson, a few other assorted true-life globetrotting stories, and currently I'm reading by Jaqueline Tomlins. It's the enormously entertaining and enlightening account of a lesbian couple from Melbourne who have the money saved up for a down payment on a mortgage, but decide to spend six months backpacking around Africa instead. There are a couple of the sad stories you always hear from Africa, but for the most part it's a really funny and informative look at day-to-day life in different parts of Africa and how this pair of clueless white chicks manages to adapt.
Anyone got other travel lit to recommend?
