My first read of 2019. A couple years ago, I watched this man in a documentary on Animal Planet. That documentary was called Walking the Nile. I was fascinated by how many miles he walked, the dangerous countries he bravely walked across and just seeing him make it to the Mediterranean Ocean was amazing. I have kept up with his adventures over the years and finally decided to pick up this third book written by him. He is a fascinating and well thought story teller. He puts his emotions into his writing and he can make it feel like you are actually walking along right beside him.
When it came to the parts where he was stopped by the police, or border security officers or drug cartel members, my heart almost stopped. I know that he made it through alive or the book probably would have never seen the light of day. It was fun reading about his journey with Alberto who was freaking hilarious.
I am watching the documentary of this journey now and the humor and sarcasm that Alberto brought to this walk was the best part besides learning about the regions that they walked through.
