Michael Palin's fascinating journey around the 18 countries on the Pacific Rim. Michael's journey through all the countries bordering the Pacific Ocean was anything but pacific as blizzards, Bogota's Bullet Street and an Alaskan abandonment pushed him and the crew to the limit. But there was time for adventure including crawling through the Viet Cong's Cu Chi tunnels, sharing a feast with head-hunters in Borneo and helicoptering into New Zealand's Tasman Glacier.
