{"product_id":"les-stanley-quicker-than-walking-9781763510074","title":"Quicker Than Walking","description":"My previous two books, Go Away and Mostly Fun, have described the pleasures and pitfalls of travelling solo, travel with a partner, and group travel. In my latest effort, Quicker Than Walking, I've added a fourth option - travels with imaginary friends. But these aren't just any old invented souls, dragged from the dark recesses of my mind. I was accompanied, in my head, by some of the greats of literature. \n\u003cbr\u003e\nI checked in for my flight to Bangkok with non-other than Henry Miller for a travelling companion. I took early morning walks, once I'd found the beach, in Hua Hin with Franz Kafka. And I had a massage with D.H. Lawrence himself. \n\u003cbr\u003e\nSoon though, my heroes left me to my own reality. In Bangkok, I was happy enough in my own company. Then on to Hong Kong and mainland China, where my nephew took on the role of translator and tour guide. Eventually, I was back in the saddle exploring the delights of hilly Northern Thailand - an e-bike helped me here. Sweating the lowlands of the south - beer my only solace.","brand":"Les Stanley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53806395162966,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/les-stanley-quicker-than-walking-9781763510074","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
