If you want to travel with a smile on your face Weird and Wacky is for you.

Have you ever considered taking your coffee five metres into the air to sit and drink it? What about a visit to the world’s first (and only) underground post office? Perhaps you like the idea of spending a night in an underground cave that doubles as a hotel? No? What about one made completely of ice, or one that floats, or there’s even a hotel submerged in water with a view of fish? If that still doesn’t tickle your fancy maybe you’d be better off entering the annual wife carrying festival, taking a turn a bog-snorkelling or attending the Road Kill Cook-off?

Weird and Wacky contains a collection of over one hundred similarly wonderful and outrageous destinations, events and travel ideas for the zany, and lets face it, downright kooky, traveller in all of us. To help you get started we’ve even included contact details for each entry so that you can check them out for yourself. What are you waiting for?

Weird and Wacky is full of places and things that you’ll hardly believe.

Reviews:

“There is a treasure chest of things you’d never imagine would exist………The book’s a great laugh, and who knows – it may inspire you to go in search of your own strange destination.” Vacations and Travel.

“This book will provide the inspiration of fun and far-fetched travel.” Life Weekly.

An absolute Pandora's Box of the weird and wonderful, the wacky, the whimsical, the downright outlandish things there are to see in the world. Plus, when they are open, how to get there and get more information. Features unusual markets, bizarre bazaars, shops that sell all the things you never needed, crazy restaurants and bars, far-out festivals, rooms in the most unlikely places, spooky spots and more. If its zany, zippy or just plain whacko, here’s the place to find it.
