I'm not sure how I feel about this book. It was a very risky thing she did (impossible today) but she made it with only a few incidents with locals. It was annoying the way she always referred to her and her bicycle as "we." The funniest part was when she had to cross a remote river with a strong current and didn't think she could make it. But just then a wandering cow came along and paid no attention as she grabbed it around the horns with one hand while clasping her bicycle with the other and waded across safely.
