How do we measure our world? What are our ultimate global travel
goals?
#RoverRecommends to us to do it via these 7 destinations scattered
all over the planet. Let’s see where we have been so far, and what is still
left out there to be conquered.
1. 1. Sail across the equator. In 2003, our boat
sailed from Malaysia to Indonesia, crossing the equator and I got a certificate
to prove that! But the greater milestone would be at the Gulf of Guinea, in the
northeasternmost part of the tropical Atlantic Ocean between Cape Lopez in
Gabon, north and west to Cape Palmas in Liberia.
2. 2. Stare at the Strait of Gibraltar. Here, Europe
meets Africa and the Mediterranean joins the Atlantic. [Did this in 2014 while
in Morocco during Ramadan.]
3. 3. Skip to Sentosa. Singapore is a stone's throw
south of Cape Piai, Malaysia, southernmost point of mainland Eurasia. [Was out
of my country for the first time in 2003, visiting Singapore!]
4. 4. Summit the Everest. The rooftop of the world at
almost 9,000 metres awaits. [Still on my bucket list! And being in India makes
it more feasible at this point of my world journey.]
5. 5. Stand by Cabo da Roca. In Portugal. Stood there
in 2014, at the westernmost edge of mainland Eurasia "where the land ends
and the sea begins..." (Luís de Camões)
6. 6. Swim in the Dead Sea. Stay afloat near its shore
that is the Earth's lowest point on dry land. [Have yet to do this myself.]
7. 7. Skim the surface of the Mariana Trench. The
Challenger Deep is the deepest known point
in Earth's oceans at 10,994
metres. Deepest dive done so far was by
an unmanned robotic vehicle in 2009. Anyone?
How many of these milestones have you achieved?
I've got 4 out of 7, so far! Join me as we complete the list. // Unshod Rover for Oasis Holidays
