Just like his contrived trip to the dark continent, the only wildlife he has seen has been a troop of monkeys in a KOA, domestic "tour" camels portaging tourists, and a de-fanged cobra in a market. Emily either is desperate for a travel buddy or has the poorest taste in "men". And olives, don't forget the #olives.

Start the real trip Dan.

the cobra people in Marrakech are literally the worst people there. Those snakes are kept in deplorable conditions and their handlers are serious jerkoff ass holes. They are extremely aggressive about trying to get people to give them money (anyone else will go away if you tell them to **** off).

To antagonize them, I would stand about 20-30 feet away and use a telephoto lens to take pictures of their snakes. They'd try to be aggressive or come after me but they're in the middle of a giant, tourist filled public square (Djema El Fna) so they'd usually be stuck with angry gestures.

The way it was explained to me is that those snakes are severely malnourished and doped up. They're then left on pavement in the middle of a hot, crowded square all day long.

Fellas, I came into this thread 10 pages deep and hadn't really been following too well.

So I went to page one started reading this thread and found the Link to the couple that drove through DRC that someone mentioned earlier on.

If you have free time at work and haven't read it yet, add it to your bookmark bar. I read a page or two between meetings, delete the old bookmark and replace it with the next page; and it's incredible. It's not like Dan is going anywhere anytime soon...#amiright #themolivesthough #moroccoisjustlikeallafrica #sofriendly #whatcannibalism #lookcamels! #jeepoverland #repeathashtag

Best part, no hashtags.


Holy ***** Just read that entire thread, really amazing journey they took

Sure every town has a gas station. He just hasn't reached the places where the gas is sold out of plastic coke bottles.

At least he has finally driven enough that he needs to buy some gas.

Due to the cleanliness of the jeep, pretty apparent he still is on pavement.

Bet there are no gas stations on dirt roads.

No no no. You don't understand. He's going through the car wash every time he fills up.

So not only do we have his slow, crappy updates with no detail but we get 25 hashtags that tell us nothing! And annoy most of the public.

I think if we get a post without a hashtag then we know he has had something unlucky happen.

No Kensington Tours hashtag? Fired? Quit?
He could at least write some story to go with his boring touristy vacation photos.

no new updates yet from emily, though she did change her instagram handle from "sheff.doc photography" to "sheff digital photography," and she did minor updates to the navigation menus of her website, but no new pics yet.

He's got two of his tires "off road". Good job Dan, baby steps.

So far the closest this guy has come to going overland in Africa is a gas station with Africa in the name.

So a photographer I follow is doing a much shorter African road trip, will be interesting to see how much ground he covers and how his stories are written.
