Why You Should Go to Petra

Mark Ferdinand

Petra is one of the world’s greatest wonders—a city carved from rose-red rock that still stirs awe thousands of years after its creation. Hidden in the Jordanian desert, this ancient Nabataean capital feels like stepping into another world, where towering sandstone facades glow in the shifting light and narrow canyons lead to breathtaking discoveries. 
Mark Ferdinand takes you through Petra’s unforgettable highlights: the dramatic approach through the Siq, the majestic Treasury, the sprawling Royal Tombs, and the climb to the Monastery with its sweeping desert views. Along the way, you’ll uncover the history, legends, and enduring magic that make Petra more than a destination—it’s an experience of wonder and timeless beauty.

I Should Have Left the Whiskey -...

Graham Field

I Should Have Left the Whiskey is the first book in the Rambling On trilogy – compelling tales from a time when motorcycles were left in the shed and global exploration slowed to the pace of cycling. 
These diaries divulge two very different journeys in Asia: because progressing into enlightened India required some back-pedalling through darkest Thailand en route to China. 
After impulsively purchasing a bicycle in Bangkok and taking to the frantic city streets, Graham was hit by the realisation that life in the fast lane could have an impact on his health. 
Pedalling away from the madding crowd, he hauled his heavy load to mountain settlements lost somewhere in time. Desperate and dehydrated, he was subjected to all that the lonely road bestows upon the soul. 
It soon became apparent that whiskey was not the best choice of refreshment. However, he rebelliously refused to abandon the bottle or the mission, keeping his glassy eyes fully focused on what was ahead. 
A year later, having eliminated some of the heavier baggage from that journey, he found himself in southern India. Surely, this coast-hugging, palm-shaded backwater route would be a breeze … but the easy road is not always the right path. 
Had reckless decisions taken him beyond his abilities? With flashbacks, foresight and the riotous brutal honesty that is confined to a diary, all will be revealed. 
This audio book contains bonus outtakes from the recording sessions.
