Zanzibar's Worst Cyclist 🇹🇿

■ TANZANIA, ZANZIBAR: After 6 hours of seaweed farming and angling for exotic fish in the Indian ocean, I devoured 4 sea-urchin gin shots for lunch and set out on the ocean floor from The Island Pongwe Lodge on my classic bicycle in the direction of Stone Town on Zanzibar's Western coast.
Deciding that cycling the same road I had come the previous day would be boring, I opted for a new route back. This change, or wrong turn if you will, added an extra 15km to what was already a 33km route. That's right, 48km of road to peddle during the hottest hours of the day on my classic, albeit increasingly frail sounding, bike lay ahead.
But the road would be paved, and hence an easier ride I conjectured.
Let's just say I conjectured wrong.... 🤦‍♂️

You live an amazing life..I am so happy for you harold and grateful for your sharing, rain or shine. you deserve everything you deserve…one day ill get the guts. spent some time in usa and immigration been to Bahamas all over america turkey (loved it), all around britain and USA. its an amazing life, if you let it, do what you love all else follows…Again, well done you !!! there are many that dont leave the town they grew up in, new cultures are great. you are my favorite KZbinr, (not in wierd way lol)….thank you

It's such a refreshing change to watch these videos on the ground with no scripts and filled with humour. I'm sick of the image we are being fed of Africa in the mainstream media. I'm 43 now and my entire life there have been adverts on TV trying to raise money and then they send a small fraction of the sums raised to Africa for water. This is real Africa, real people going about their lives. LOVE IT!
