In Search of the Green-Eyed Yellow Idol: Around the World in Fifty Years: Overland, Adventure & Trekking

In Search of the Green-Eyed Yellow Idol: Around the World in Fifty Years: Overland, Adventure & Trekking

Around the world in a bit longer than 80 days, Siân and Bob have managed to avoid a ‘proper job’ for over fifty years. Working in the field of adventure tourism, whether driving overland or trekking in the high mountains, as well as on personal adventures, this is their story. The text is illustrated with more than 600 photographs dating from 1974 to 2023. Some journeys are inevitably a exciting, cutting-edge and stimulating. Others pass through regions of conflict, where hardship and sorrow are never far away. Some stories inflict anger, sadness and frustration; others inspire joy, astonishment and contemplative wonder. Call it an obsession, addiction or an inexplicable passion, this narrative cannot avoid questioning, enquiring and searching - perhaps it’s a quest for something beyond the end of the rainbow.

The book will appeal to fellow travellers, avid explorers and armchair adventurers. It is much more than a travelogue; to criss-cross the globe to some of its most tempestuous destinations, remotest corners, poorest communities and well-heeled avenues, is to see life in all its good, bad and ugly.

This is the first time they have written a book that is not a guidebook. This is the colour paperback edition.
