A new book on the travails of travel by �the funniest man on the planet� (Spectator). Why on earth would anybody want to run with the bulls in Pamplona? Go �storm chasing� through Tornado Alley? Jump out of a plane? Have lunch with the queen or touch hands with the pope? The Further Adventures of An Idiot Abroad is a fresh take on the bucket-list mentality from television star Karl Pilkington, renowned for his comedic collaborations with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
