These accounts of unusual travels encompass a ride on an unshod pony galloping through Mongolia, swimming (briefly) below the ice at the North Pole, and debating with a Dani herdsman in New Guinea the most fashionable style of penis sheath and how to grow one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A colourful and humourous journey through far flung lands, 2 Feb 2002

By A Customer

This book brings the reader from the barren plains of Mongolia to the chilled waters of Alaska, from the jungles of Peru to the islands of Hounduras. Tim Cahill is a wonderful story teller and a fine observer of human behaviour. His appreciation of nature and his understanding of the fine balancing game our world is playing between development and ecological disaster is recounted in a very humorous and at times touching way. His stories introduce us to more like minded adventurers, whose passion for exploration of the less well travelled road allows the reader to participate in the journey. This book is the ultimate travel guide with added adrenalin, and makes those of us reading it while tucked up in bed feel like we are missing out on something huge! Remote Journeys Oddly Rendered is an excellent read, and is a superbly entertaining way of finding out far more about the world and the people that live in it - right down to the phenomonen of the similarity in Missionary attire the world over, and the lengths man must go to in order to star in a beer commercial!
