Speaking of Ewen McGregor have you seen either Long Way Down or Long Way Round? Been wondering if they are any good.
I've seen both, they're both very good. I think I preferred Long Way Down. The European leg of the journey was not shown as much, so it mostly concentrated on the African part. Some of the scenery astounded me. I never thought there would be lush rolling green hills in Ethiopia, I thought it was mostly desert.
Well worth checking out!
