In the grand tradition of 19th-century scoundrels, explorers and romantics, Africa strikes him as the ideal place to find solitude and anonymity in the face of a personal crisis. What follows is Peter's journey from one end of the Dark Continent to the other. Travelling the fabled Cape Town to Cairo route by any means of transport he can blag (or if he must, pay) his way onto, it's an epic trek that sees our intrepid Antipodean experience everything from the southernmost city in Africa to the Pyramids, vast game parks and thundering falls, cosmopolitan cities and tiny villages, as he journeys through the very heart of Africa. And travelling on his own, it's inevitable that Peter falls in with a motley cast of characters and has myriad misadventures: including coming face to face with a wild hyena with very bad breath, crossing the treacherous Sani Pass, the highest in Africa, narrowly escaping a riot by hiding in a coffin shop, saving oil-covered penguins in South Africa, and acting as an extra in a World War II epic, not to mention dodging 20,000 single woman trying to catch the eye of the king of Swaziland during the annual Reed Dance. Oh yes, and then there was the time when he was kicked out of Robert Mugabe's birthday bash at gunpoint. 312591 2002 Swahili for the Broken-hearted total:65|5:11|4:20|3:24|2:6|1:4| 65 223 96 7 3 1 false false Sun Mar 09 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 11 11:35:58 -0800 2007 Mon Mar 10 10:29:28 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 16 14:50:56 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 23 13:47:39 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sun Sep 14 05:00:29 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 14 05:05:26 -0700 2008
