Chasing Che by Patrick Symmes

Che Guevara a revolutionary, physician, author, intellectual, guerrilla leader, diplomat, military theorist, and major figure of the Cuban Revolution. Thousands of T-shirts with his face on it sold around the world. But how did he become such a famous person, what did he do and where did he come from. 'Chasing Che' follows the adventure of Ernesto Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado, through the authors eyes in a motorcycle journey through South America

Two hundred and twenty nine miles south of Buenos Aires, the engine of the BMW R80 G/S dies, and than silence. Nothing, nothing to hear or to see. These aren't the only problems Patrick Symmes since he arrived in Buenos Aires, first his luggage mysteriously disappeared and than no one could find his motorcycle in the harbor. In the book Patrick Symmes tries his best in being like Che, even if this means stealing office supplies from local newspapers.

I like how Patrick Symmes tries to follow the exact routes the two G's- as he like to call them- went, and even if those didn't exist he still tried to have the same experience the two young adults had.

Every book is different to others, this one connects history with travel, which I enjoyed. I learned a lot about Che, who was just another historic diplomat. Personally I would recommend this to people, who are interested in history and travel adventures.
