Download or read book Traversa written by Fran Sandham and published by Prelude Books. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Traversa" is a fascinating account of the hardships and hilarity Fran Sandham experienced during his epic solo journey on foot across Africa, from the Skeleton Coast to the Indian Ocean through Namibia, Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania. Inspired by the legendary crossings of the great explorers, Sandham left the daily grind of London to undertake an extraordinary adventure. "Traversa" describes his brushes with danger in the form of lions and snakes, land mines and bandits, his 2-month battle with a syphilitic donkey, malaria and the everyday troubles that arise when walking across Africa. Underpinned with stories of the great explorers themselves - Livingstone, Stanley and Galton among others - "Traversa" is the written proof of Sandham's grit, determination and sheer obsession with the continent of Africa.

The Bihenos have goats of a very inferior race, and their horned cattle are small and of poor and weakly breed. Poultry abounds, but, similar to all tbe domestic animals of the country, the birds are small of body. Having thus gleaned from my notes what I considered most curious with respect to this interesting country, reserving for a special chapter a fuller account of its climate, capabilities and prospects, I again take up my diary on the 14th of April, 1878. The rains had been gradually decreasing, falling from six to nine at night only, since the beginning of the month, and yielding scarcely one-eighteenth of an inch of water. The weather was splendid, and even the few flecks of white cloud which after the rains floated for a time at an enormous height in the upper air, at length disappeared to leave the sky perfectly blue and limpid, beautiful by day beneath the rays of a brilliant sun, but infinitely more beautiful at night when sparkling with myriads of stars which shed over this African continent that strangely melancholy light which surely is peculiar to the regions of tbe tropics. The weather was admirably fitted for travelling; it was already the 14th of April, and yet I was detained in the Bihe'!
