A girl, a pink Honda Cub, and a ride on the infamous supply trail from Hanoi to Saigon.

This is not only the thrilling tale of a daring adventure on an aging motorcycle; it is also the story of Southeast Asia's legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail, and of a war, the effects of which can still be seen across the region and in the hearts of not only its people but of the many Americans whose lives were forever touched by it.

Follow Anotonia as she retraces the footsteps and tank tracks of this famous supply line through the mountains and jungles of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Alone on a diminutive pink motorcycle, she encounters bomb craters, unexploded orndinance, mud, mountains, jungle, disappointment, triumph, and almost without fail, cheerful and generous people along her path. Availble on Amazon.com and Fishpond.co.uk

The reaction so far to A Short Ride in the Jungle

Antonia has pulled off not only a demanding and original adventure but a great read too. A short ride in the Jungle informs and entertains in just the right measures, taking the reader on a action packed journey through Southeast Asia's trails and jungles, as well as its equally torrid history. - Lois Pryce, Motorcycel Advneturer and Author of Lois on the Loose and Red Tape and White Knuckles

Fantastic!- Overland Magazine

Truly wondreful...a book after my own heart. - Ted Simon, author of Jupiter's Travels and Dreaming of Jupiter
