Synopsis
A few months before the Russia-Ukraine war started, Patrick rode a motorbike from Moscow to the Caucasus across the Cossack Plains and went up Mount Elbrus on a snow scooter. From Orthodox-Christian Russia in the Moscow area to the Muslim South to finally end up in Sochi at the Black Sea Coast. Before that he tested Covid19 rules in various European countries, causing Patrick to re-name the place 'Coronistan'. He also updated some of his previous travel stories in earthquake Italy, went to a wedding in New Zealand, rode with Vikings in Georgia, searched for vultures in the Pyrenees, experienced a culture shock in Shanghai, sweated away in England's Lake District and enjoyed the high roads in Switzerland. The many people Patrick meets make the stories come alive. Hop on board for an enjoyable journey across the landscapes and history of many countries. Travel is food for thought so you'll get plenty of that when you read these stories.
About PATRICK PEREIRA
Landschappen en vergezichten komen maar tot leven door de mensen die ze bevolken. Met die mensen moet je spreken, er niet alleen een foto van nemen. Patrick reist - veelal met de motor - en filosofeert over het heden en het verleden. Geschiedenis, economie, mensen, landschappen, steden, motoren en kilometers worden naadloos aan elkaar geplakt met een lijm van cynisme en humor. Het is ideale literatuur in de zomer aan het zwembad, tijdens de corona lockdown op het terras of gewoon op het rekje naast het toilet natuurlijk.
