Swahili For The Broken-Hearted
A week after breaking up with the GND - my travelling companion in The Full Montezuma - I ran off to Africa to lose myself for a while.
Following the fabled Cape Town to Cairo route, I used public transport to go from the southern most city in Africa to the pyramids of Egypt.
Wild animals. Corrupt border guards. Political turmoil. Upset tummies. This book has got it all.
Readers' Africa
Got a weird and wonderful photo from Africa that you'd like to share with the world? Send me a jpg of the pic to this email address and I'll stick it in my Readers' Africa slide show.

The unfinished freeway I became obsessed with while I was in Cape Town remains unfinished.
Greg Eccleston sent me a pic. Still no clear word on why, though.
Favourite Photos
