The year was 1983.
Convinced his college education was incomplete, Neil Dukas, set out on an ill-considered 14,000-mile journey on the cheap across the length of Africa determined to address the shortcomings in his schooling and to experience, first-hand, some fragment of the developing world.
Sometimes bouncing along in a pink converted army truck with a handful of other misfits, sometimes relying on the hitchhiking moxie of a plucky gal from Wales, sometimes happily abandoned by the side of a dirt track in the African savanna, dogged all the while by a variety of ailments, the author stumbles from one self-inflicted near-death experience to the next. Yet surviving by the grace of the people he chances upon, he filled three journals of priceless memories. This book is their fruit, the gift of a privileged and near unique opportunity to encounter Africa in the ephemeral moment of hope and diversity between post-war decolonization and the advent of the Internet.
