Riassunto:

After 10 years in New Zealand, Joe Bennett asked himself what on earth he was doing there. Other than his dogs, what was it about these two small islands on the edge of the world that had kept him?an otherwise restless traveller?for really much longer than they seemed to deserve? Bennett thought he'd better pack his bag and find out. Hitching around both the intriguingly named North and South Islands, with an eye for oddity and a taste for conversation, Bennett began to remind himself of the reasons New Zealand is quietly seducing the rest of the world.

Recensione: 'Excellent...full of quirky stories' Judith Chalmers, SUNDAY EXPRESS
'Joe may be a bit curmedgeonly but he has a healthy awareness of his own absurdity, likes and dislikes the right people and realises that real understanding comes from random encounters and snatched snapshots of people's lives, rather than tourits traps and breathtaking views. It makes his book an honest insight into both travel and New Zealand' GUARDIAN 7/05
