The Idiot, who is currently writing The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Twenty Years Walking The Mediterranean, wore over twenty different caps and a crown while MedTrekking through Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt and Tunisia during the past five years.
Here’s a sampling of how The Idiot kept his head and capped off his 12,667-kilometer (7,871 miles) hike around the Mediterranean Sea.
The Idiot wore a The Idiot and The Odyssey II cap in Ephesus, Turkey, in 2013 a few months after the publication of his second book in the MedTrek trilogy.

The Idiot never wore a cap during a Turkish bath in a hammam.
The Idiot chose pink and blue to simultaneously convey two political messages in Cyprus.
The Idiot wore a new version of The Idiot and the Odyssey II cap at the border between Egypt and Libya.
Camels in Tunisia LOVE colorful caps.
The Idiot’s MedTrek ended in Carthage, Tunisia, last October when he was coronated as The Idiot Emperor of Carthage and, naturally, exchanged his caps for a crown.
What happens to all these caps and where does he get them?
The Idiot usually gives a branded cap, which he buys at The Idiot Boutique, to a follower at the end of each MedTrek outing and, when he loses a cap, he buys the first replacement he finds.
