In my past travel experiences, I have found great help inside bulky, yet somewhat necessary, Lonely Planet Guide Books. Many times I have found copies floating around in various unexpected locations, with tatty covers, missing pages and pre-highlighted for extra guidance. I have also been known to leave copies of these books lying around to inspire the next weary traveller. They are however, sometimes a little bulky and heavy and therefore lacking the characteristics of a good travelling companion.
It was to my sheer joy that I have just found the environmentally lighter version. Lonely Planet now offer the PDF versions. You can also simply buy just single chapters too should you wish to merely travel a specific area.
So, I have now downloaded the pdf version of the book and can carry it with me on my iPhone or iPad, or any other device that supports pdf’s. Perfect!
Have your say
