Naast de bekende en handige reisgidsen in zakformaat， heeft Lonely Planet ook een mooie collectie aan naslagwerken en inspirerende vakantieboeken。 Mythische autotochten in de wereld is een van deze prachtige hardcovers die de lezer voorziet van leuke en nuttige informatie en gaat vooral in op autovakanties。Het biedt voor ieder wat wils en beperkt zich niet tot een bepaald deel van de wereld。 Zo zijn er routes uitgestippeld die dichtbij huis liggen， terwijl je voor anderen eerst een halve wereldr Naast de bekende en handige reisgidsen in zakformaat， heeft Lonely Planet ook een mooie collectie aan naslagwerken en inspirerende vakantieboeken。 Mythische autotochten in de wereld is een van deze prachtige hardcovers die de lezer voorziet van leuke en nuttige informatie en gaat vooral in op autovakanties。Het biedt voor ieder wat wils en beperkt zich niet tot een bepaald deel van de wereld。 Zo zijn er routes uitgestippeld die dichtbij huis liggen， terwijl je voor anderen eerst een halve wereldreis moet overhebben。 De 50 tips zijn allemaal op dezelfde manier verwoord: het bevat een persoonlijk verhaal van een ervaringsdeskundige， praktische informatie zoals de beste reistijd en de afstand van het traject en interessante feitjes。 Dit wordt bijgestaan door een pracht aan kleurenfoto's。 Ze weten te inspireren en zorgen ervoor dat je het liefst meteen na het lezen je koffer pakt en ergens een camper of een heerlijk ouderwets VW-busje huurt om aan je eerste roadtrip te beginnen。 Er wordt onderscheid gemaakt in moeilijkheidsgraden， die zich beperken tussen groen （makkelijk）， blauw （moeilijk） en rood （mythisch）。 Deze zijn gemakkelijk terug te vinden in de inhoudsopgave。De persoonlijke teksten van de verschillende schrijvers zorgen voor een huiselijke sfeer。 Alsof het een kampvuurverhaal betreft。 Geen opsomming van feiten， maar persoonlijke ervaringen。 Doordat het door verschillende mensen is geschreven， zal niet elke schrijfstijl even veel indruk maken， maar een ding is zeker: ze weten elk te overtuigen op hun eigen manier。Mythische autotochten in de wereld is niet alleen een prachtig naslagwerk， maar ook een fijne raadgevende reisgids。 Hoewel het boek op autotochten focust， kun je de routes met verschillende voertuigen nemen。 Het zijn slechts voorbeelden en absoluut geen verplichtingen。 Het is vooral een aanrader voor degenen die graag een avontuur per auto beleven of mensen die daarover na zitten te denken。 Maar ook de natuurliefhebber zal niet teleurgesteld worden in dit boek door de pracht aan foto's dat het biedt。 Een klein puntje van kritiek is echter dat het boek geen inwendig boekenlint bevat。 Dat zou het boek helemaal afgemaakt hebben。 。。。more

Lots of great drives around the world， some more practical than others， good pictures and descriptions - while the main drives are organized by region of the world， the "secondary" options are similarly organized only sometimes。 Lots of great drives around the world， some more practical than others， good pictures and descriptions - while the main drives are organized by region of the world， the "secondary" options are similarly organized only sometimes。 。。。more

After finishing Epic Rides of the World， I had to see what was in this book。 Turns out， quite a few of the bike rides are also considered worthy of car-trip status。 As with Epic Rides， I enjoyed the descriptions of the more adventurous routes through countries the State Department considers unsafe。。。 and found more than one scenic route I'd like to take through more pastoral places。 The nice thing about this book， like Epic Rides， is that there is so much variety。 Rides range from 15 to over 100 After finishing Epic Rides of the World， I had to see what was in this book。 Turns out， quite a few of the bike rides are also considered worthy of car-trip status。 As with Epic Rides， I enjoyed the descriptions of the more adventurous routes through countries the State Department considers unsafe。。。 and found more than one scenic route I'd like to take through more pastoral places。 The nice thing about this book， like Epic Rides， is that there is so much variety。 Rides range from 15 to over 1000 miles and cover all kinds of themes。 Both the books in this series would make good gifts or fit well in a waiting-room for their appeal to a wide ranges of people。 。。。more

Good photos but the written entries are quite uneven in quality。 It’s really a coffee table book suitable for browsing but not for serious travel planning。

There are some great ideas for trips， but so many of these writers were just incredibly insufferable。 Beyond that， most of the short "tips" revolved around alcohol， as though a trip just isn't worth it without getting piss drunk during and after。 There are some great ideas for trips， but so many of these writers were just incredibly insufferable。 Beyond that， most of the short "tips" revolved around alcohol， as though a trip just isn't worth it without getting piss drunk during and after。 。。。more

Beautiful photography fills the pages throughout。 It feels like a picture book with little text。 It spurs on wanderlust and serves as a springboard to explore and do more research。 The drives that were chosen all seem to be the right ones and mostly the obvious ones with some new drives and new discoveries。 My copy came from the library and it is one that should be owned if one is serious about exploring， but it truly is just a jumping off point， it doesn't have enough details to actually plan a Beautiful photography fills the pages throughout。 It feels like a picture book with little text。 It spurs on wanderlust and serves as a springboard to explore and do more research。 The drives that were chosen all seem to be the right ones and mostly the obvious ones with some new drives and new discoveries。 My copy came from the library and it is one that should be owned if one is serious about exploring， but it truly is just a jumping off point， it doesn't have enough details to actually plan a trip。 Check it out and start dreaming of your next vacation。 。。。more
