Cycling China in the wrong gear and bound for Thailand
In this, the 2nd Audio book of the Rambling On trilogy, the load gets lighter and the speed slower, but Graham Field’s objective remains the same: he is fully focused on making the route to his demise as pleasurable as possible.
And so the quest to his Chinese destiny begins. Now relieved of the whiskey, the road nevertheless continues to be an uphill struggle, not helped by the sub-zero winter temperatures. But being towed behind trucks and loaded on to buses evens out the ratio of endurance and pleasure.
Along the way, Graham proves that, with a little manipulation, a dream can become a reality. Above the suffocating city pollution, he finds a clearer view of China upon a 2,000-year-old trading route through Shangri-La to Tibet. This revered road tempts with a Chinese whisper: an alluring ascent that calls to be ridden in a solitary trance of wonderment.
As the author pushes on, he promises himself, should he reach that pinnacle of personal achievement, the run-off reward will be relaxation. With the descent into Thailand there is a change of gear. The gulf widens as he searches for the perfect beach retreat, refusing to be palmed off as a sex tourist.
One day at a time, that’s how a journey progresses, that’s how a diary is written and a tale is told. It’s far less daunting that way.

Although he said not to, I am anyway
At the end of every audiobook I've listened to, the late Rick Lewis comes on in that 1940's audio quality style voicing and says "Audible hopes you've enjoyed this progrum."
Why yes Mr. Lewis, I have enjoyed this "progrum", as I have every audiobook/book written by Graham Field. With this particular book, it's not just about the travel escapades. It's about the experience and the thoughts that Graham shares with us. His final thoughts at the end and bloopers were exceptionally pleasant and enjoyable as well.
Good job Graham. So looking forward to part 3.

My spirit animal.
Another underground classic. I’ve followed Graham on all his adventures listening on my phone as I toil away my days as a plumber. This book is like a mental vacation. He paints pictures with words that any dumb ass can appreciate. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers
