Gone Troppo: Hot Babes, Warm Weather, Cold Beer. Paradise!

In this riotous romp through South Africa, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, India, Mexico, Hawaii, Costa Rica and Rarotonga, Stu often finds more Purgatory than Paradise, more Hell than Heaven. But none of this curbs his passion for The Tropics. Or cold beer. So lie back in a deckchair, put on your sunscreen and join Stu in this quirky quest for Paradise.
