Trio's Trek: A short review
this as quite the corruption that I do.
All in all I found Trio's Trek an intriguing read, thus far the earliest hitch-hiker's travelogue I've encountered and stirring a lot of thoughts on the changing times. The style is nice, polite, prudish, conservative, some of the text smells a little too thickly of it, and all the same here are three brave (if perhaps bigoted) young ladies, that took the world into their hands, trusted people and came to conclude that hitching was what made the trip for them!
What would these same ladies say of hitching today? Will the media hype have turned them?
Don't get your throats cut, the Europeans all warned as they moved into Morocco. I think then they were talking about the North Africans, today they'd be talking about the drivers ... anywhere!
