Adventures In Yellow

Adventures in Yellow is a heart-warming, humorous and poignant account of an epic 35,500-mile journey through the Americas. Abandoning schedules and all sense of time, husband and wife team, Norman and Maggie Magowan, take to their motorcycles and embark on a life-changing adventure. Relishing the role of modern-day drifters, their eyes may be firmly on the terrain, but their ears are ever poised for a good yarn along the way. Their story, as they say in their Northern Irish homeland, is a cracker ! Leprechauns to Alaska covers the remaining leg of their amazing journey, following roads north through the banana republics of Central America where our intrepid travellers are blown off course by a ferocious hurricane. After the storm, they encounter the culinary and geographical delights of Mexico before an American fairytale finale that weaves through the stunning national parks of the US and Canada. At the end of the road they face the ultimate challenge: a 900-mile duel with mud roads up through Alaska as the duo attempt to reach the Arctic Ocean. Told with boundless wit and warmth, this is a book that will make you want to saddle up and get travelling. But if that isn't possible, let Norman's soaring prose transport you there regardless. Brace yourself - it's going to be one hell of a ride! The South American leg of Adventures in Yellow is recounted in Leprechauns in Latin America
