Bicycle Africa

(Selective criticisms.  Hey, we have a little sense of humor.  Click here for better comments.)

• Tan ends in the middle of you thighs and other odd tan lines.
• Not having a pre-tanned bum when peeing in the bush.
• Sores in your mouth from too much fresh pineapple.
• Tired jaw from smiling at and greeting everyone who greets you for miles and miles from along side the road.
• The day we cycled in the cities. [ed. helps you appreciate the rest of the trip more.]
• Having to wait a half-hour while elephant enjoy a snack along the side of the road and block the way.
• Program ran too smoothly so I didn't have a good excuse for telling my boss I need to spend another week in Africa.
• Having to go whole weeks without a meal of meat and potato.
• Lack of access to current news on the (take your pick) NHL, NBA, NFL, etc.
• Spending two weeks with a bunch of liberals.
• The end of the trip and have to return to reality.
• Lots of cross-cultural / people-to-people experiences - saturating, so many curious people.
• Too many fantasies [ed. this has to do with passing a lot of good-looking people -- pick your gender.]
• Having to carry all the souvenirs I bought on the bike -- except for those I got others to carry for me.
• Too few hours of sunlight to take it all in [ed. typically twelve hour from sunrise to sunset all year around.]
• Too much stopping to eat! I put on weight!! [ed: referring to Tunisia]
