This is a salutary tale of the 'adventures' of a pair of extremely
innocent backpackers (one a debutante in this form of vacational
masochism) as they embark on two, climatically very different, trips on
the near continent. Seeking shelter each night sometimes in their tiny
tent and at other times in accommodation of a very dubious kind (the
names of these establishments have been changed to protect the guilty)
they set about exploring some of Western Europe's major cities. Their
routes take in the delights, and dangers, to be found in, amongst
others- Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Lisbon, Bordeaux, Amsterdam, Lyon,
Salamanca, Geneva etc. You name it... and they had a traumatic
'arthropod-related experience' there. They also managed to be the
victims of two successful robberies in the space of one, extremely
uncomfortable, evening and also contracted most of the holiday ailments
known to modern medicine...Oh yes, and they had to witness a totally
gratuitous display of 'fancy dress nudity' which would have broken
lesser men! Were these two 'adherents of the pack' hapless or unlucky in
befalling these tribulations? Well, I'm still not sure..... but I do
know that they did survive to tell the tale in all its grimy, in need of
a proper wash, detail.
