Journal Entry 1 by Fleebo from Sydney, New South Wales Australia on Thursday, October 07, 2004

"Q: What do you do when you're dumped by the girl next door?
A: Throw yourself at the mercy of deepest, darkest Africa in a crazed quest to travel from Cape Town to Cairo."

Peter Moore is a very funny Aussie travel writer. He's the only published backpacker writer I know of, and although his travelling style doesn't suit me, his writing style certainly does!

For the full experience, don't forget to look at the travel slide show for this book.

Great fun. The part that I remember best was not funny though - it was his comment that although the women of South Africa are doing all they can to change their poverty-stricken lives, their men seem to be just as intent on undoing their good work.
A thoroughly good, and quite easy, read.

Sending to boreal in NZ, to replace a lost book ray. Good luck, little book. 

Journal Entry 4 by boreal from Dunedin, Otago New Zealand on Thursday, August 04, 2005

This arrived this morning. Thanks heaps Fleebo for sending me this. I am going to use it to revive my bookray which appears to be stalled/lost with one of the participants.
The revised list of participants will be posted here very soon, though it will be a bookring rather than a ray this time. Hopefully it will get back to you Fleebo, before too long.
