Reviews on Amazon UK "Another great book by Rosalie Marsh that should not be missed. Most enjoyable mystery tour that anyone could take from the comfort of their sofas. The flow of words employed to narrate it, is in itself most refreshing making this tour a relaxing adventure not to be missed. A family book that should appeal to everyone."Joseph Abela, Author. UK. "This well written book is both funny and informative. As a map lover myself I found the map verses sat. nav. theme running throughout the book very amusing. For anyonyone planning on undertaking such a journey, it is an excellent travelogue with plenty of useful tips. For those who weren't thinking of venturing down that road, I guarantee that by the end of the book, you will be yearning to do so. A great follow up to Just Us Two." Robert A.Thompson. North Wales.
