      His antics are hilarious, you just wouldn't believe the things he does, I didn't at first, but now I know he doesn't do them on purpose.
      He was warned not to go off with anyone outside the hotel he stayed in, in Gambia, then once outside, a man asked him if he wanted to see around the place, and he thought that would be nice, an hour later he was in the middle of nowhere and the man said he had to leave, so my hubby asked him how to get back and he summoned a car, he said was a taxi, and my hubby had to pay a fortune to this """taxi guy""""" to get back!!!!!
