“Nije daleko od istine tvrdnja da se na ovom području odigralo toliko povijesnih i čudnih događaja, o kojima su se prohujalim vjekovima ispredale takve priče, često i izmišljene, da ni bogovi više ne znaju istinu i početak.”
Radi se o 40 dana putovanja od polarne Patagonije pa do pustinje Atacama, a s naglaskom na posjeti mističnom otoku “Rapa Nui”. Polazak je 05.11.2017.
“Svi u pogrbljenom stavu za napad, jedva čekaju naredbe svojih zapovjednika prerušenih u jaguare ili orlove, koji pak odobrenje čekaju od ratnog poglavice. On je u tim prilikama – sa svim onim silnim perjem kvecala, kljunom tukana, crvenim namazom od kukca košenila i zmijom u ruci – bio ljudski prikaz Huitzilopochtlia, astečkog boga rata.”
“Da ironija bude veća, Indijanci bi s lakoćom razumjeli o čemu je slavni talijanski znanstvenik govorio, da već tada nisu bili uništeni od strane gluplje, ali agresivnije civilizacije.”
“What he caught after three hours of casting his net, our fishermen would throw to cats. But he went home with a genuine smile on his face. Luang Prabang was a home run.”
“The man forgets where he is and when he glances through the tent and sees a hundred meters high cave – through whose enormous gap the morning sun penetrates – he realizes that he spent the night in one of the most attractive places on this planet. Memory for a lifetime.”
“We sought refreshment in the lake, and we were not alone. On the other side of the shallow water stood a herd of over fifty rugged and wild buffaloes. Astonished, we approached them to take better photos, and they started to approach us, in order to protect their offspring. Believe me, not even a bit pleasant experience.”
“If eight hundred years ago someone had told King Jayavarman that the temple – where more than twelve thousand souls lived – would one day be consumed by the jungle, he would probably have that messenger executed. However, this imposing shrine – with all the trees, roots and vines, which capture every pore of the structure – is no more than a kingdom of macaques, only ones reigning. A typical example of how in the end nature always wins, no matter how godly man felt.”
“Ono što je on, nakon tri sata povlačenja tradicionalne mreže uhvatio, naši ribari bi bacili mačkama. No on je otišao kući s istinskim osmjehom na licu. Luang Prabang je bio pun pogodak.”
“Naime, čovjek snen zaboravi gdje je, a kada proviri kroz vrata šatora i vidi stotinu metara visok strop dvorane – kroz čiju ogromnu rupu prodire jutarnje sunce – shvati da je noćio na jednom od najatraktivnijih mjesta na ovoj planeti. Uspomena za cijeli život.”
