| Summary: | In his second book, wheelchair traveller Ken Haley crosses the Continent the long way round---from Russia to Portugal via the Arctic---covering 26,000 km by train, bus, plane and ship. At the stately pace of 2.4 km/h this former Age journalist is not out to break too many speed records, and takes comfort in the self-delusion that the slower he goes, the more he sees.While searching for true Europeans, Haley is embroiled in adventures that range from sharing a house with bank robbers in Norway to taking on the house at Monte Carlo. He also turns detective and discovers unsettling truths about his own European family. |
