An idyllic holiday in the Italian Alps...

After a typical tour of Italy, Noor heads north to spend a nice, quiet winter with her Grandma. It’s going to be great. She’ll go for walks and enjoy the fresh mountain air, read by the wood-burning stove and under no circumstances use the chamber pot under the bed.

At least, that was the plan.

She didn’t plan on running out of money. Or riding on the back of a bicycle, in traffic, with no helmet on. Oh, and there was that one time a giant pig tried to force his way into the kitchen.

And there’s so much she’s forgotten about her childhood in Italy – like how the water freezer in the pipes, how cold it is using the outdoor toilet and how the Church bells ring every hour of the day and night. But, it’s all part of the fun when you’re living in a five hundred year old house in a mountain village.

Between day trips to ancient festivals, exploring neighbouring cities and being smuggled into her friend’s school, Noor will need a holiday to recover from her holiday.

It was supposed to be a stress-free holiday...

A chance to see Israel's beauty and Petra's magnificence on a normal, safe group tour. That’s what Noor thought she was signing up for… but no one told her about passport officers on a power trip. Or about grumpy bus drivers leaving tourists behind. And then, that important detail about border crossing the travel agent forgot to mention.

Will this adventure be more than Noor can handle?
