Product Description

A collection of quirky, fun travellers' tales.
Join Allie around Europe in a less-than-reliable campervan.
Enjoy the ups and downs of the journey, where brakes fail on mountain passes, the TARDIS masquerades as a Volvo, and our intrepid travellers are possibly cursed by a witch.
Don't expect glowing praise for everywhere - Allie tells it like it really is!
"Funny and hard to put down!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Uneasy Rider - Easy reader. 15 May 2011
Format:Paperback
This is a genuine and cleverly written book with the authors enthusiasm shining through. Travelling with a family in a camper van must have many fraught moments but the author not only freely admits to them but shows the hilarious side to many of them. Who knew that a motorway ran alongside the ruins of Pompeii? This is a good laugh and great value. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very easy Uneasy Rider ! 18 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is definitely worth a read if you own or are thinking of owning a motorhome.
Why ?
Well certainly not because it is full of handy hints and technical doodads, it isn't
It is written from the perspective of a really 'normal' young lady about her and her husbands travels throughout Europe in their various wheeled homes.
It is written in a way every one( men and women ) can and will empathise with, telling of the ups, downs, trials and tribulations of motorhome life.
It is probably the most entertaining 'factual' book I have ever read.. To call it merely a travel book would be a travesty.
There is one down side.. It ended too soon and left me longing for more of the same !
