About the Book

Whether you're an explorer or a tourist, the journey often proves to be more exciting than the place you arrive at. Not to mention more alarming, entertaining, spectacular, dangerous or farcical. All of which is pretty closely connected with the mode of transport you're dependent on - from stubborn mule to ancient plane. Brian has been on the look-out for unusual vehicles ever since he travelled down the Ovens River in the Victorian Alps on a rubber inner tube when he was 9 years old. Here Brian writes about his most memorable journeys, including his trip on the Trans Siberian Express, his pub crawl on the London tube, his journey down the east coast of Australia in a truck and a camel safari with a particularly grumpy camel. What readers thought about Rule Number Five: No Sex on the Bus: I laughed my guts out. Andrew Caldwell Love your book. I bought it yesterday then took the rest of the day of to read it. Amy Rouse It's the best roll around the floor laughing book I have EVER read! Alison Goodall At times I laughed so hard the tears were flowing down my face. Helen Fraser I picked up Rule No.5 at Sydney airport for some in-flight reading and laughed so hard passengers were turning around in their seats to make sure I wasn't having a fit. Sam Mcpherson Thanks for letting me relive the best time of my life. Colleen Roth After reading your book, I am frightened to travel on a tour. Skye It took me a week to get past the first chapter because I was splitting my sides so much. Reg Quelch Can you give me some tips on how to pick up lovely ladies like Coach Captain Kevin Kelvin. Peter Harrison I read you book in 24 hours, much to the annoyance of my boyfriend (who, incidentally, is not allowed near the book or he will cancel my European tour I'm booked on). Fiona McFarlane My kids kept telling me to stop laughing because they couldn't hear the telly. David Leikhold
