Riding The Desert Trail: By Bicycle to the Source of the Nile:
"This is the third of Bettina Selby's travel books I have read - all cycle based trips. This one takes her from the mouth of the Nile to its source (well, it doesn't split hairs over the actual source - Lake Victoria is her final destination), taking "

“This...is for the ones who look with both eyes.
It is for the ones who see the bombs and the bastards and stand shaking with the breath of the beast on their skin. When you look with both eyes, you feel it all, but you don't flee or freeze. You fight. You Swing your sword with both hands, tears pouring from both eyes, and when they try to drive you back, you advance.” ...more Caitlin Johnstone |
