Back of Beyond, Travels to the Wild Places of the Earth, by David Yeadon

Back of Beyond, Travels to the Wild Places of the Earth by David Yeadon.

Could not locate a current photo of this book, I did notice it seems to be available e-book wise.

Read in 1995

An account of some of the most unusual places that David Yeadon traveled to - 13 countries, some are generally considered common destinations, although the villages are out of the way places tourists do not usually visit.  One of the better places was a village in the Canary Islands, where David and his wife lived among the locals  for 4 months.
2 of the more unusual places were chronicled in chapter 14 - India, Rann of Kutch, and chapter 15 India, Getting to Goa. 
Of all the places David visited, chapters 2 Haiti, 3 Costa Rica, 4 Gran Canaria and 5 Morocco - The Last Caravan, were the most enjoyable.
