An amazing, inspiring, and heart warming journey through the Middle East. This travelogue is the daily journal of a hilarious and brave 30 year old Irish woman as she treks from Ireland to India on a bicycle. Throughout, she meets amazing people, faces adversity, fires a pistol, and is offered farm-land by a Pakistani prince.

One of the best books I have ever read.

Great book, really interesting on several levels -- both as a report of a fairly remarkable journey, and also as a window into the middle east during the early 1960s.
