TDA Highlights

Somerville, Mass - All of the Lonely Planet team members contributed to this little slide show about the highlights of the Tour d'Afrique.

The original presentation was actually a PDF file, but I can't figure it out how to post that. Apparently I can't post a video without sharing it with the world on YouTube. So here it is - one more time - as a photo album.

There are a few consistent themes, but for the most part, it's interesting to see how everybody really had different experiences.

One recurrent theme seems the be "The People". Many of the riders said they enjoyed meeting the locals along the way. You'll notice that this was not a highlight for my partner Tom or me - that's because we only met about 7 people in Botswana and Namibia. They are kind of sparsely populated.
