Summary
:
Envisaging a gentle cruise down the Volga followed by an idyllic trek across a stunning mountain range, the reality of his journey took Daniel by surprise. But despite the discomforts and inconveniences of travelling (including a distinct lack of alcohol aboard the Pipkin and visits from the KGB, for this coincided with the 1991 Coup), Daniel recalls the friendships, the overwhelming hospitality he received in the Caucasus, and the sheer thrill of adventure that characterized his remarkable quest.
