One of the great books of the 70's was "Vagabonding in Europe and North Africa" by Ed Buryn. Obviously outdated today, but it was a great read for those wishing to travel back in those days. When I went to NZ, "Tramping in New Zealand" a Lonely Planet book, was the book to have if you were hiking.

"But just to avoid confusion , don't tell an Aussie that you sit on your fanny and we will not tell you we wear thongs (beach sandals, flip flop, jandal...)"
HAHAHA! Reminds me of when I was standing in Cathedral Square in Christchurch and told my newly acquired Kiwi girlfriend that my wallet was in my "fanny pack." She was like "What?" and burst out laughing when I explained to her what I meant. Kiwis wear a "bum bag," definitely not a fanny pack. Go look it up.
