Pole to Pole by Michael Palin

4.0

I remember watching this series on TV. Always loved Monty Python and was delighted that Michael Palin has all these travel shows. Listening to it on audiobook now is a delight. Narrated by the author himself, it feels like an uncle telling you stories of his many exotic travels. Of course, at this point, it's also a historical track since I'm sure many things have changed from 1991. When he was travelling, the Soviet Union is still hanging on to its last breaths. It would be interesting for the youngsters of today to hear how things were in the "old days". One also wonders if traveling the same route nowadays would be easier than before.
