Designed with the insatiable traveller in mind, there are seven volumes to this grand adventure. Each would make a fascinating holiday in its own right – a safari to South Africa that takes in the joys of Kirstenbosch, Stellenbosch and KwaZulu-Natal, an escape to the white beaches of the Seychelles, the desert sands once frequented by Lawrence of Arabia, a trip to the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings, a week on the Turkish Riviera, a tour around the Black Sea and a well-rounded Mediterranean cruise that drops you home. Wherever your interests lie, be it in history and architecture, wildlife and nature, folklore or food, the sheer variety of the experience is reason enough to hasten the arrival of each new day.
