Three Men in a Boat and Three Men on the Bummell

Funny, because these books were both touted to me as all-time-great English humour by a friend, just last weekend. A timely reminder to get my Amazon order in.

I understand that Three Men on the Bummell is about the misadventures of the same people as they go on a bike ride somewhere in Europe. Austria, perhaps?

Given that this wouldn't exactly be a Tour De France I suspect Bill's association with bum/bummeln is spot on.
