Bravo presents the 
motorcycle diaries

'Long Way Round' follows actors to exotic locales

 

   Think of Bravo’s “Long Way Round,” which premieres tonight at 10 p.m., as a “Simple Life” for adults.
   Over six one-hour episodes, “Long Way Round” follows actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman as they travel on a four-month, 20,000 mile, transcontinental journey all on motorcycles.
   The duo, who had to have been sore in places they’d rather not be, travel through the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, Siberia, Alaska, and Canada before finally arriving in the Untied States.
   Of course there has to be an element of drama included, and that manifests itself in a series of cultural and language barriers -- and that's kinda like "The Simple Life," too.
