Slow Travel: Conversation with Martin Hughes
Martin Hughes is the author of two new books that extol the sensory wonders of slow travel. The first two titles from Affirm Press feature Melbourne and Sydney.

I learned about the books from Melbournian Tom Walter -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomwalter -- who told me about these new books that featured a burro on the cover. I checked out the Slow Guides blog and fell into a slow email chat with Martin who agree to join us in this online conversation.
