Travel (from the Vikings to Columbus to Drake to your neighbours) has always been half about going somewhere, and half about telling everyone about it when you get back.

Part of the reason for the book (and the wonderful interaction that the Web allows) is get reactions from you about where we went, what we saw, and whether what I had to say about them was gripping and useful, or boring and useless.

I hope that you find the book of The European Job an amusing companion for a few hours, but I also hope that, if you travel to anywhere we went, you might actually get something useful out of it - a hotel tip, a place to must-see or avoid, time-saving queuing advice - anything to help you enjoy your own journey more.

We all love travelling, but we also love passing on our own experiences. When you've read the book, I'd love to hear yours.

E-mail me direct at author@theeuropeanjob.com and I'll do my best to reply personally.
