...careful, fool the eye into betraying the body. Just when you think it might be safe to go out in a thigh-high mini, the fashion oracles say it's the year of the catsuit.

On the way back, Stanley rode openly with the rebels, but dressed in a burka, a head-to-toe Muslim garment. All went smoothly until a border policeman hitched a ride.
