My mount needed considerable encouragement. As we finally got into gear, I put up my pink parasol with a pop, frightening the donkey so much that we nearly got to the top at full gallop. Who else but Lydia Laube would climb the Great Wall of China on a donkey waving a pink parasol? Slow Boat to Mongolia is a hilarious account of her travels by ship, train and bone-shaking bus through Indonesia and China on her way to the almost mythical Outer Mongolia. The intrepid author of Behind the Veil and The Long Way Home returns with her most adventurous tale yet.

A real howler!,

This review is from: Slow Boat to Mongolia (Audio Cassette)
Poor Lydia seems to attract predicaments like ants to a picnic! It took me quite a while to stop laughing over her hotel mishaps in Hong Kong (the ex-suite bathroom) and Mongolia (the deceptive outside light switch).

Don't miss the boat!,
By Kim Ivey (Sunshine Coast, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Slow Boat to Mongolia (Paperback)
Brilliant book, Lydia has an honest and down to earth style of writing. Maintaining a sense of adventure and of humour throughout her journeys she subtley invites the reader to join her on her trek off the beaten path.
