From the inside flap "As Globe trotting transport, it may seem a curious choice: a folding kayak - seaworthy but not luxurious - that could be dismantled and stored in a bag. ... In a years journey the pair toured shark infested waters around the Solomon Islands, negotiated bandits and bodies along the Ganges and dodged hippos and government spies on Lake Malawi."
I found the book an easy fun read and a great adventure.
