Really great travel show

mikeymac7

I feel like perhaps this will get buried because people may see it as a motorcycle show before a travel show. Charley and Ewan really bounce of each other well (though not as well as Long Way Round or Long Way Up), and I enjoy seeing just two friends share this incredible experience with each other.

As noted in other reviews, the rushed nature of this series brings it down a bit and I'm glad that they address it in the show, though it being too late to change the schedule. Charley just ignoring requests to not wheelie always made me laugh as it just shows how much fun he was having out there.

(I have mini grips with the team member Dave (one of the Americans) but he's not there enough to cause any real annoyance.

Then of course the big one...Eve. I have no idea why she is there and it feels as though his "star power" created an environment of no one really telling him no other than his mate Charley. Throwing a wife in this late in a trip and one that's allowed two friends to just be laid back and make jokes just threw off the entire energy between the two. It doesn't ruin the show but it would've been better had she not been there.

Just watch it and enjoy it. Great look at the world and an admirable way to travel.

score 8/10
