He thought it would take him a year - it took him over two.At the end of 2005, he cycled back into Cape Town, 14kg lighter, having covered 36 500 km through 34 countries. Intending to use his journey to generate local and international awareness of the often appalling standard of living in Africa, Riaan was also propelled by a strong desire for African adventure, a desire that was inevitably fulfilled.In Around Africa on my Bicycle, Riaan allows the reader to relive the toil, excitement and occasional terror of his journey - negotiating the Sahara and Libyan deserts, learning French, Portuguese and Arabic, eating monkey, rat and bat, standing in front of the pyramids, being awarded the freedom of the Red Sea in Egypt, feeding hyenas mouth to mouth, and standing on the highest, as well as at the lowest, points in Africa.'I was living, exactly that, living.'- Riaan Manser If You Enjoy "Around Africa on My Bicycle (Paperback)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "Around Africa on My Bicycle (Paperback)" by Riaan Manser (Author)There are no customer reviews yet.
