Bill Bryson backpacked around Europe in the 1970s. In the 90s he decided to recreate his journey. With his characteristic honesty he describes his travels making clear his likes and dislikes. Often his descriptions are laugh-out-loud funny but I didn't find this book as engaging as Notes from a Small Island. This book seems more dated, probably from it being pre-9/11, and does not depict the changes in travel since then. But it is an enjoyable, light read.
