Publisher's Synopsis
This series of travel related true stories transports you from the smoky rain soaked skies of Manchester, England, to the heady scented air of the Far East, back to the rural lanes of Cheshire and then to the shores of Lake Ontario. When Chris Neal and his wife Judith moved to Singapore from the North West of England in August 1990 they had no idea of the adventures that awaited them; being dive bombed by gigantic fruit bats, cycling in dense jungle, snakes hiding down toilet pans, an infestation of cockroaches and a close call with Pirates to name but a few. Short accounts of so many exotic and fascinating destinations; sailing in Malaysia, tiny islands such as Bintan, Batam, Langkawi, Tioman, Seychelles and Maldives to the amazing bouncing stones of an aboriginal sacred place in Northern Queensland Australia. It's sure to stimulate your appetite to go and explore. Along the way Chris peppers the storyline with evocative facts and figures, anecdotes as well as humorous morsels and extremely notable tales. There is something in here for everyone - an ideal read whether you are traveling or snuggled up at home.
