An Idiot Abroad - Karl Pilkington

Presenting the Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington: Adventurer. Philosopher. Idiot. Karl Pilkington isn't keen on travelling. Given the choice, he'll go on holiday to Devon or Wales or, at a push, eat English food on a package holiday in Majorca. Which isn't exactly Michael Palin, is it? So what happened when he was convinced by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant to go on an epic adventure to see the Seven Wonders of the World? Travel broadens the mind, right? You'd think so...Find out in Karl Pilkington's hilarious travel diaries


This is a great companion to the TV series of the same name.  If you watch the series you will recognise the places and experiences in the book, but like me probably forget some aspects of each place so still find something new. WHilst reading this book i could hear Karl's voice in my head and his mannerisms - which came across well in this travel diary and made it an amusing read.  Their was some great funny moments in this book and it was good fun to read.
