In a series of "blog-like" sound-bites, Underwear or Socks? An Overland Odyssey tells the story of a journey that starts in Turkey and covers more than 40,000 kilometres to end in Australia.Travel with the author as he scales the slopes of the highest mountain in the world; endures 50-degree heat and 90-percent humidity; stands face to face with a wild tiger; descends into an underground city; flies across a barren landscape in a hot-air balloon; skis the slopes of a volcano; battles stinging insects, spiders, snakes and rats; camps out in desert storms; fords flooding rivers; and swims with crocodiles.Viewed through the wide and often incredulous eyes of an armchair traveler finally "doing it for real", it turns out that the world really is a weird, wonderful and often very amusing place.About the Author: When he is not finding ways to make his life more interesting, Alan Lush is an IT consultant in England.Publisher's website: www.SBPRA.com/AlanLush
