ONE TOUR TWO TRIPS 150 YEARS - AND A WORLD OF CHANGE APART In June 1863 an English lady Miss
Jemima set off by train on the trip of a lifetime: Thomas Cook's first Conducted Tour of
Switzerland. A century and a half later travel writer Diccon Bewes author of the bestselling
Swiss Watching decided to go where she went and see what she saw. Guided by her diary he
followed the same route to discover how much had changed and how much had not. She went in
search of adventure he went in search of her - and he found far more than he expected. Slow
Train to Switzerland is the captivating account of two trips through the Alps: hers glimpsing
the future of travel his revisiting its past. Together they make a journey to remember. 'Fans
of Bill Bryson will find him a kindred spirit' The Lady'Bewes has an engagingly light and comic
touch' Sunday Telegraph
