Literatur

Some books I read - most of them unfortunately in German, but if you are really desperate...

One for the road

Really detailed travel guide - just in German

Down Under

Interesting stories
Bill Bryson is using his travel reports to give you a big variety of background informations. Nevertheless this novel is not just a travel guide, but a mixture of travel report, autobiography and satire. Thus when reading you start to grin quite often.
