RE: CHILE #4 – Into the mysteries of Easter Island
Amazing, that's one of the places I still want to visit, possibly by sailboat.
The whole history of how the Polynesians got to the islands is just fantastic. have you ever read Kon-Tiki Expedition?
Oh, you are sailin? That is a long way from the coast of Chile... That will take some weeks? Yes I have read the Kon-Tiki Expedition. I have several of Thor Heyerdahls books and I have also seen the documentaries about his expeditions. In fact, he is the one who has inspired me :) His name is presents on the island. Being a Norwegian, many of the inbabitants, including my landlady (who works at the museum) told me about dokumentary shown - in Norweagian, with Spanish subtitles!
Amazing! I'm not sailing, but it's on my plans! Or maybe a haft just like Thor did hahahahaha
It's cool to know that he inspired you, actually reading about that crazy journey makes us wonder that anything is possible
