Michael Palin's Hemingway Adventure

Hemingway loved the bull run, and Palin confides that it must be an age thing – he can't stand watching it.

Travelling to Africa where Hemingway went on many safaris, Palin goes to a local Maasai circumcision where the teenage boys are dressed up in finery.

In Chicago, Palin spends a bit of time exploring the city before going to Hemingway's birthplace, Oak Park.

In Italy, Palin goes to the area where Hemingway was wounded during World War I and supposedly buried a ten-pound note in the ground.

Going to Uganda, Palin looks at the site where Hemingway's plane crashed, after which the newspaper headlines incorrectly declared that the famous author and his wife were dead.

The people wear masks and cloaks, so Palin decides to get into the spirit and dresses up as a Gumby from the Monty Python television series.

Putting on a warm jacket and gloves, Palin and the Barone, his duck-hunting partner, wait in vain for three and a half hours for a duck to come.

Palin flies to Cuba where he finds many Hemingway leads and visits his former home and a hotel room he often stayed in.

Following the last stretch of Hemingway's life, Palin becomes a cowboy at a dude ranch in Montana and succeeds in roping the camera operator.
