Michael Palin's terrific account of his journey through 18
countries bordering the Pacific Ocean For almost a year, Michael
Palin travelled through 18 countries on the perimeter of the
world's largest ocean, in a spectacular journey of contrasts, drama
and beauty. From head-hunters in Borneo to a meal of maggots in
Mexico, his route takes him to some of the most politically
volatile and physically demanding places on Earth. Whether climbing
the Exalted Mountains in China, dodging icebergs in Chile, or being
taken short on the banks of the Amazon, Michael Palin paints a
vivid picture of the people and places around him. 'It was a
journey of dazzling surprises and jarring extremes. Beauty and
ugliness, sophistication and squalor, unceasing urban noise and
monastic tranquility ... This is a record of a year of wonder'
Michael Palin.
