This appears to be an account of a part of Paulo Coelho's life - his hippie days. The story is about two young people (boy and girl) who meet in Europe and take a bus called the Magic Bus which takes people across Europe and Asia right to Nepal for some 100 bucks. The hero meets the heroine in Amsterdam, they take the Magic Bus, meet other people and finally journey across the continents in a rickety bus growing along the way. Once they get thrown out of a restaurant in Germany, two underage girls are off loaded, some funny incidents in Turkey.
Nothing much to take away from. Though it does give an insight into the life of a hippie, societal sanctions and attitudes about them and how they cope with all that.
