An Absolutely Outrageous Adventure by John Bougen

Two hundred flights, 120,000 air miles, 400 hours in flight, 220 different airports, 12.5 days waiting for flights and 140 different beds. Imagine the check-in hassles, the different airline meals and the jet lag! In November 2002 two travel-crazy New Zealanders set off to conquer the Guinness Book of Records for travel - 193 countries in 150 days - and they succeeded. This is the account of their outrageous journey, the places they visited and, in particular, the people they met. They were angered, humbled, scared and tired - but never bored. In fact, John Bougen would like to do it all over again! A book for armchair tourists and serious travellers alike.
John Bougen is a successful property developer. James Irving is his cousin and has been in the travel business for 24 years. Jill Malcolm is a journalist and travel writer, former editor of 'Pacific Wave' and author of the award-winning travel book, On the Road.
