Road to Morocco

WanderLearn with Francis Tapon, author of The Hidden Europe and Hike Own Your Own Hike

Today I just released the pilot episode of The Unseen Africa! This Kickstarter funded project is about Morocco. The DVD and Blu-Ray is available today at my shop. You can’t get it anywhere else.

To celebrate the availabilty of the 44-minute commercial-free episode, we’re having a guest post by Clinton J. Wilson, who shares his misadventures in Morocco. Here’s Clinton…

Misadventures in Morocco

I wasn’t really shocked to learn my friend had lost his passport somewhere along the desolate stretch of road leading us to our isolated hotel in the Sahara. Somehow this seemed to be the logical development in the plot of our Moroccan vacation. It was right out of a Paul Bowles story. Our doom was imminent. It wouldn’t be long now before murderous Berbers would usher us into a small room and rob us of all of our remaining possessions before hacking us to death and burying us out in the sand. No one in the world would ever be able to trace us.

The End.

But I guess I felt I had too much to live for. I couldn’t waste my energy thinking about my friend, for I’d already given him up to the vindictive natural forces of the African desert. He had a fever, and was now missing his passport; I had to conserve my strength. There was the next day’s camel ride at dawn. I was going to have my “Lawrence of Arabia” photo op if it killed me.
