Description
A travelogue describing an eighteen-year-old's first encounter with Africa… alone by bicycle from Manchester (UK) to the Gambia, straight across the western Sahara (Morocco, Western Sahara and Mauritania), all for no other reason than that it sounded like a good idea at the time. Interwoven in the narrative of the life-changing experience are the histories and cultures of the people of northwestern Africa.
First Sentence
Four wheezy old men in wrinkled grey and brown jellabas sit silently around the café table beside me, sipping coffee and smoking kif marijuana from carved cherry-wood pipes.
