Vagabond: A horseback adventure from Bulgaria to Berlin

The journey starts when author and long-rider Jeremy James buys two horses from gypsies at a fair in southern Bulgaria. He and his long-suffering friend Chumpie then set off on horseback winding northwards to Berlin and on the way encounter a marvellous array of local characters from all walks of life as they ride from Bulgaria to Berlin, via Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Poland. On a low budget, they are sustained by local fire-water, indigestible food and the forceful personalities of their horses who steal, run away, misbehave or suddenly comply at will and add a whole new dimension to the experience of travel. As Jeremy says, Ã¢â‚¬ËœIf you go by train or car, the world rushes past you, and you donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t even get to smell it. But if you travel on a horse, you feel the world as you move through it, every step, every scent, every breeze, every dimple in the ground, and itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s always fresh. The horse carries you into village life: heÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a point of reference, something to focus on.Ã¢â‚¬â„¢ After five long months, they finally reach their destination. It has taken Jeremy through an Eastern Europe full of surprises, which, with the collapse of communism, has almost disappeared today.
