Long Way...

As always I feel like I haven’t done anything worth talking about in the last few days. However, here I am sitting in front of the computer thinking that I’ve just watched the most inspiring series of documentaries. Forget about boring nature, or educative history/archaeology/palaeontology, or the typical rancid travel documentary.

I was thinking the other day that the last few months I lived in the UK I was constantly watching TV. A big chunk of that time I was watching sitcoms or CSI kind of shows, but I would also sit through a lot programmes like Megastructures, the Bear Gills ones, Grand Designs, etc. The one I never caught on any channel and sounded quite interesting was Long Way Round.

Yes, I know, another Ewan McGregor thing, but don’t worry, I’m not going to go the teenager way and watch every single movie he ever worked on. I draw the line at Starwars...

But this is different; it’s really catchy for a documentary. After watching the first 2 episodes I couldn’t stop, I couldn’t wait to see what hardship and adventures they went through. Of course they had support, publicity and all the help that being famous attracts wherever you are in the world, especially if you are being followed by TV cameras, but all those muddy dirt tracks, and camping, and not knowing if they are going to make it to the next town are so exciting to watch...

And as always I end up daydreaming about that idea that I had some time ago, that I would like to do a road trip across America (in a car, of course), from New York to LA... A dream is always a dream, but who knows? Maybe one day I will manage to make it come true.
