I just started a new series on Netflix called Michael Palin: New Europe, and although I'm only a few episodes in, I'm seriously hooked! I sort of knew about these, and maybe I'm getting this wrong, but I somehow got the impression that Michael Palin found out he was dying, and that's why he decided to travel around the world with a film crew. All I keep thinking is... "Now there's a guy who really did it. Michael Palin really did end up living a fantastic life. It's right there on the screen. I'd be green with envy if I wasn't having so much fun watching.
I love the way he's traveling. He'll go from automobile, to train, to bicycle, to bus, to boat, to horseback, to camelback, to hot-air balloon, and that's all in one episode! Netflix also has seasons of him in the Sahara as well as the Himalayas, but I checked and there's around ten of these. I'm really looking forward to it.
