The Linger Loco! In search of the Real Carnival

DAVENTRY, England, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Twin brothers and UK travel writers Chris Raven and Simon Raven returned recently from a trip to South America where they traversed the Trans-Oceanic Highway. Their journey is documented in 'The Linger Loco', an extraordinary account of bizarre escapades, chance encounters and humorous reflections on life.

Reminiscent of the extreme adventures of celebrity motorcyclists Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, The Linger Loco differs from mainstream travel literature as it delves into the challenges and invigoration of being un-sponsored, on a shoestring -- disorganized and itinerary-free.

"From bull's testicles in Buenos Aires to bums and boobs on the beaches of Brazil -- it's physically impossible not to love South America!" commented Simon, the younger of the two brothers.

Travelling overland across Argentina, Chile, Peru and Brazil, the brothers bumble across a new continent and traverse from the Pacific to the Atlantic Coast of South America on a hilarious journey that leads them over the Andes and through the very heart of the Madre de Dios in the Amazon.

'The Linger Loco!' is the third book in the Linger series and is now available nationwide. The book follows the success of the 'The Linger Longer: Driving the Trans-Siberian', an account of an unprecedented 11,000 mile journey across Russia from the UK to Vladivostok in a 300 pounds Sterling Ford Sierra.
