Cheers...Kim Thank you very much Kim for your kind comment. I am happy you liked it. PS : As you are from Perth (lucky man ), maybe Kim you will enjoy the SD#5 story in Western Australia that I posted after the wonderful trip I had the pleasure to do last holidays 3 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: Jean Marc, another amazing example of your creativity and fine historical posts. This would take me literally weeks to compile, how in the world do you find the time to create these screens? Really glad of your comment, Jack. I started to collect the pictures and to read books about the great men in December...a few evening per week during about 2 months ... sometimes taking time on the night. Well with 24 hours per day, 10 for work, 6-7 to sleep therefore still enough for family and such story preparation 3 hours ago, JMBIII said: History that was not taught or even mentioned in school ! too many other things to tell in school many thanks JMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Another truly epic leg or Humboldt's journey, put together so well and lively! It really comes alive, the heat, the moisture, the giant mosquitos that sting you through your hammock (ouch!), the jaguars waiting in the jungle... and the incredibly brutal fate of the poor woman. But sure, they only wanted to save her soul... hahaha. That ape that the indians fear... could it be related to this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy you had interest for the texts I tried to give an idea about the travel condition and point of view in 1800...but not sure that many people read these small characters texts On 2/24/2019 at 8:26 PM, Captain Lars said: That ape that the indians fear... could it be related to this one? great shot you found...well we will never know about the Mono Grande and I love this mystery (I prefer to not have any real explaination or photography ). I found funny how such same believe is shared all over the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
