This is Madness: A Family Travel Guide! - The Daily Travel Journals from a Family's Adventure Around the World by Douglas Hamilton, Christine Hamilton, Alistair Hamilton and Donald Hamilton
This is the ultimate of family travel guides, as you see the countries they visit, and the adventures that they have, through the eyes of Mum & Dad, Donald & Christine, AND two pre-teenage children, Ally (12) and Dougie (9) captured in the journals that they wrote as they went along. An adventure travel book to stir the adventurer in everyone, This is Madness takes the reader on the journey from home in the UK to encounters with wildlife - and wildlife poo! - in South Africa, dental problem and allergy attacks in Sri Lanka, the unbelievable beauty and friendliness of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, zip lining through the forests in Thailand, discovering Mangosteen in Bali, campervanning up the east coast of Australia from Sydney to Port Douglas, being dropped from 200 feet in New Zealand, scuba diving in Fiji, the majesty of the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and the Florida Keys in the US, before dropping him/her on a beach in St Lucia and then returning home.
The adventure travel experience is mixed with homely detail, thoughtful observations of modern and reflections on as hopes and fears for the future - as well as copious servings of coffee and ice cream and observations on local cats! The differences between the observations of the parents and the kids on the same events is both insightful and heartwarming - as mum and dad analyse and dissect, the kids take it all in their stride and look forward to the next meal and adventure!
