Do you suffer from Aerophobia?

Do you suffer from Aerophobia? If yes, never go to El Caminito del Rey (The King's pathway) in Spain. This walkway is only for brave back-packers. I found excellent video from this walk. This man with camera is really unbelievable. Work on this way started in 1901 and it was built in 1905. It is crossing falls and it was built for material transport. This was wasn't repaired for long time nowadays, and it is is in catastrophic state. Many people died on this way. For improving safety is whole way followed with wire. This way is closed now, but many hazardous people are still visiting it.

El Caminito del Rey

Animaniacs - Nations of the World

I found interesting video on web with travel topic. If you think that you know all nations of the world, and you can speak fast enough, try to sing together with this video. I am sure, that you will not be able to sing together with this singing evil. And when you will be good enough, correct Czechoslovakia in this song and sing Czech Republic and Slovakia, because now we are 2 separated countries.

My Travels - Iceland 1998 - 15.day

28.August 1998

It is morning's standard weather on Iceland. It is raining. We packed our tent in a record time, to prevent to have wet things. We saved a day or two, and we decided to go to mountain camping in Landmannlaugar. This camping is far from main maintained round way around Iceland. Before our trip we had to find some informations about possibility to reach that place with our bus. We stopped on our way in Hveragardi. It is a small city on southwest of Iceland. There we visited a big glasshouse, Eden Shop. You can buy there souvenirs between palm trees while temperature outside can be under 0 degree. Hynek found out there, that the way to Landmannlaugar, is negotiable also for our bus. Franta sat down to his place of driver, and after a few kilometers we left main way and turned to black wilderness. The way wasn't such good as we were informed. But with help of God and our driver's abilities we continued forward. Everywhere were black dust and it looks like we were going through the black desert. The last place with inhabitants Hrauneyar were in a half of our way and it looked more like lodging houses for workers. After short break there we continued. The countryside around us warped from plain to mountains.

At afternoon we reached our camping place. In front of camp it was the ford. It was better to bring our things with us and went over it by foot using wood pathways. It was a little bit raining and we had a beautiful surround. Mountains were colored from black to dark red. We built our tents and decided to cook some dinner. After preparing all ingredients for the risotto we started to cook it on the wooden table near of our tents. Our effort was broken with strong rain. We stopped the cooker and went to our tents. Our rice we hid under the table. After a half hour weather improved and we continued in the cooking. But also the second attempt was broken with rain. We hid our rice and also cooker. That day it looked on cold dinner. During strong raining and it also started to blow cold wind. We gave up all our cooking attempts. Boris's tent we degraded to store tent and Boris moved to my tent. It was a little bit uncomfortable, but it was necessary.
