In a sunburned country

In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson – This is the book we read before heading to Australia the first time and I can say with my absolute whole heart that Bill Bryson is by far my favourite Author. I mean, if you like to laugh until you cry, which I happen to;). He is clever and witty […]

Hot Weather, Head Wounds, and Diarrhea??
