We
have met lots of great explorers on our journeys. Among
them we will never forget one young and brave Scottish
girl. She broke through every obstacle to see new natural
wonders, ethnic tribes and strange animals. We have
also met one pensioned colonel from USA who frightened
the wild bears in Alaska.
It
was also interesting to join and hear stories from president
Mobuto`s coach for the security squad. He had crossed
the African continent several times before he had to
escape from the regime. We had great experience together
with a small group of Italians when we visited the Bushmen
in the disreputable Kalahari-desert in Namibia.
Great
explorers
From
the story we admires many great explorers as Captain
James Cook, Pytheas, Francis Drake, Marco Polo, Christopher
Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, Dr. Livingstone, Henry
Morton Stanley, Rudyard Kipling, Thor Heyerdahl, and
some of our Norwegians forthfathers as Leiv Eriksson,
Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen.
We
also know that the Indians from America, Egyptians and
Polynesian people sailed between the continents to search
for new places thousand of years before the mentioned
persons where born.
