Publisher's Summary
Outrageously irresponsible and undeniably liberating, Simon Gandolfi's Old Man on a Bike will fire the imaginations of every traveller, young or old.
At 73 years old, Simon Gandolfi sets off from Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico to embark on a five-and-a-half-month journey culminating at 'the end of the world', Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego. For Simon this is a journey of discovery. Leaving behind the safety and sanctuary of friends and family, he is truly alone, but along the way he meets and talks with rich and poor, old and young, officials and professionals, agricultural and industrial workers. This expertly written travelogue reveals not only the stories of those he meets and his own, but also that of Latin America, its attitudes to itself, to the USA and the UK in the aftermath of the Iraq war and the realities of the poverty and endemic corruption throughout much of this continent.
