Written by an Australian transplant. The first chapter is great, a philosophical defense of walking. After that (as far as I read), he eats as much as he walks.
Was not the book I expected it to be. Assumed it was more of a guidebook for tourists but it turned out to be about a who lead tours and what he chose to offer. I finished it but would not have been something I would have chosen had I realized the story line.
