Richard Dotson and two chums set out to explore the Adriatic Coastline in Croatia and Montenegro.
It's to be the adventure of a lifetime, originally on bicycles, but plans change.
Here's the recipe:
Take three former college lecturers, place in a blue Nissan Micra for three hours, allowing them to simmer in their own juices, before putting the contents into a pressurised, air-conditioned vessel for a further two and a half hours at an altitude of approximately 35,000 feet. 
Empty onto the Adriatic near in Dubrovnik and bake at 35 degrees, basting with factor 30 Sun screen for a week. 
Liberally sprinkle with a bevy of Balkan beauties, restaurants and a couple of breweries, before allowing to ferment and cool in the shade of numerous public houses, but avoiding Irish Bars like the plague.
Add information gleaned or omitted from "The Lonely Planet Guide" and local Autobuska Stanica, then simply serve, stand back and watch the fun. 
A travel adventure with a difference, but if it doesn't tempt the reader to pack a rucksack and map, grab a flight and hurtle over there, then there's something seriously wrong with them.
Of course, there's a cheaper, easier option of getting hold of the book and joining them on their travels through Eastern Europe from the comfort of your favourite armchair, with full colour photographs (eBook only).
What a wonderful world.
