About this book
Jelle Brandt Corstius, son of Dutch linguist Hugo Brandt Corstius, makes a bike ride from Amsterdam to the Mediterranean to scatter the ashes of his deceased father.

On April 18, 2014 Jelle Brandt Corstius began again on a journey, but without his two months earlier deceased bike buddy and father, Hugo Brandt Corstius, a wonderful man who many knew of things that most people do not understood (palindromes) but again very few of the most common things (children).
With his bicycle bag in a part of the axis of its father puts Brandt Corstius in sixteen days 1,620 kilometers.
He will be camping on a desolate campsite in Luxembourg, is robbed by gypsies (the ashes they leave behind), staying with a Maastricht lady who demands that he catches the shower water to it to flush the toilet and pull overconfident with fifty kilos of luggage by the Ardennes - until it comes out on the Mediterranean
coast, where he scatters the ashes. 'As in the bag' Jelle Brandt Corstius' most personal book about his famous father, written at the time that he has just become a father, in the form that we know of him, a travelogue.
