Departing Cairo With Its Pyramids They Cycled Through Ancient Egypt The Deserts Of Sudan The Mountains Of Ethiopia The Lush Rolling Hills Of Tanzania Malawi And Zambia The Beautiful Terrain Of Botswana And Namibia And Along The Atlantic Ocean Of South Africa To Cape Town: A Fifth Of The Journey On Clay Washboard Rock Sand And Dusty Roads. It All Made January To May 2008 A Memorable Summer: 10000Km Down Roads Less Travelled Time To Interact With Some Of The World'S Poorest People Pitching Tents In Desert And On Bush Ground And Eating Local Foods. Again And Again The Authors Were Struck By The Welcoming Faces Of People With Very Few Of Life'S Amenities Who Appear To Live In Peace And Harmony With Their Surroundings.
