Have you ever made a drunken bed? We’re still, have you ever tried to win one? In attempting to hitchhike round Ireland with a fridge, Tony Hawks did both, and his full hardiness led him to one of the best experiences of his life. Joined by his trusted, traveling companion – cum – domestic appliance, he made his way from Dublin to Donnegal, from Sligo through Mayo, Galway, Claire, Cary, cork, Wexford, Wicklow – and back again to Dublin. In their month of madness, Tony and his bridge met a real prince, a bogus king, and the fridge got christened. They served together, entered a bachelor festival, and one of them had sex without the other knowing. And unexpectedly, the fridge itself became a momentary focused for the people of Ireland.

An international best seller, Round Ireland with a Fridge is a classic travel adventure in the tradition of Bill Bryson with a dash of Dave Barry.
