The Travels of a Fat Bulldog

The fierce secrecy surrounding the corps of the Queen's messengers has been somewhat relaxed recently, but the "silver greyhounds" are still bound by the Official Secrets Act. This is the record then, of an off-duty Queen's Messenger. Courtauld goes white-water rafting in Costa Rica and walking in the foothills of the Himalayas, is nearly drowned in Mauritius and loses himself looking for the Limpopo River. He is interested in everything, looking at flora, fauna, architecture, art, and history, but it is the quirkiness of human nature that delights him most.
