‘It was a journey of dazzling extremes. Beauty and ugliness, sophistication and squalor, unceasing urban noise and monastic tranquillity… This is a record of a year of wonder.’

Full Circle is the diary of Michael Palin’s epic 245-day, 50,000-mile adventure around the rim of the Pacific Ocean. It’s a journey that takes him through eighteen different countries – including some of the most politically volatile and physically demanding places on Earth.

Told with Michael’s trademark warmth and good humour, this is a spectacular story of high contrasts, intense drama and unmissable beauty.
