Highly recommended! This book is an invaluable, accurate and fascinating guide which will take your trip to the next level and bring deeper dimensions to your travels. The vibrant descriptions of everything from the food, people and precious sites bring it all to life for me. The archaeological and historical information is very interesting. She includes some rather unusual, more esoteric tidbits which I particularly relish. Useful maps and directions. Accurate pricing info - super handy. I appreciate the coverage of different modes of transportation and particular segments (when one can only do a portion at a time). The lovely pics are icing on the cake. Buy the book now and begin dreaming/planning an epic, life-transforming journey!
