Requests:  0 Summary:  In the summer of 1863 seven people left London on a train that would take them on a trip of a lifetime. They were the Junior United Alpine Club and members of Thomas Cook's first Conducted Tour of Switzerland. For them it was a thrilling adventure across the Alps; for us it was a historic trip that changed the world. A century and half later travel writer Diccon Bewes is standing at the same station about to embark on that same three-week trip. His quest: follow their itinerary, stay in same places, see the same things and so discover how much has changed. And how much hasn't. His guide along the way is one of the original participants, a spirited lady who wrote a diary as she travelled. A diary that was lost for decades but survived to become a unique record of that pioneering tour.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 914.947 Be Checked In Add Copy to MyList
