   You where, Odysseus? From the wife, from children....
   Traveller Vladimir Lysenko carries out one and a half year
Round-the-world travel on cars - by the way, the first of Russians and on
To original route.
   Some can tell: here after all the person - any crisis to it
At all! Actually all not so is simple and easy. First, to the spouse
Lysenko (and it is registered on the senior scientific employee in the Novosibirsk
Academgorodok) adventures of the husband have bothered. Say, 44 years have knocked to it,
Children adults, it is time to become staid. Secondly, any travel demands
The big money. And whence they at the scientist?
   - And still I am happy with the travel, - Vladimir speaks. -
So much countries managed to be seen! So much beauty on the Earth! And unexpected
Situations help to check up character, mind and will...
   Situations such at Lysenko and its friend Boris Ivanov from Omsk,
With which they have carried out the first Transamerican stage krugosvetki in
September-December, 1997, was much. Having bought in Anchorage on Alaska
Old "п п?п я п п?-240", they have without effort crossed Canada and the USA anxious
Only one problem - search of cheap hotels. Not bad felt
Itself travellers and in Mexico - the country pleasant for rest, cheap and
The beautiful. However, travellers were a little jarred on by requests of some
Policemen to render to their families the sponsor's help - children supposedly starve.
   But severe everyday life has begun in Guatemala. In the beginning in it it is simple not
Have started up - though friends had the Guatemalan visas which have been given out in Moscow.
Local frontier guards have told, that do not know a word "Moscow", and for visas
It was necessary to pay again. Then has passed "obdiralovka" under the full program.
In capital of Guatemala Lysenko with Ivanov have addressed for visas to El Salvador and
Honduras. In embassy of El Salvador the one-day visa of a distance, but have advised
To drive this country as soon as possible. And here in representation of Honduras
Began to delay, while someone from the local has not prompted: it is necessary to make
gondurasskim to frontier guards "souvenir". "Souvenir" in the sum of 400 dollars at once
Has solved all problems (it reminds nothing to you?).
   Up to Argentina friends had to test many excitements
For the life and a purse. In Panama two robbers tried to take away at
Travellers a videocamera also have broken it. In Colombia only the unintentional
Police intervention has rescued from parting with last money.
   Money catastrophically began not to suffice. Lysenko has sold a catamaran,
On which it was alloyed on the mountain rivers in Canada, Arizona and Ecuador.
   But all the same we began zhestochajshe to save, Vladimir recollects.
Slept only in the car, ate bread and water and hurried on the continent south.
The only thing that cheered up, - extraordinary beauty the nature.
The desert in Peru between Silent has especially amazed with the "lunar" landscapes
Ocean and the Andes.
   After returning to Russia Vladimir Lysenko began to prepare to
To the African stage unusual krugosvetki which has begun in July
Last year.
   In the beginning the African travel proceeded easy. Lysenko it was possible
To admire beauty of legendary Victoria falls and to be alloyed on
To raft on the river Zambezi. And the traveller has visited again Tanzania at
Bottom Kilimandzharo where it have capitally robed in the winter of 1993.
Unpleasant memoirs so memoirs also remained this time.
   And here on August, 7th, 1998 Vladimir Lysenko was born on light of the second
Time. Also there was it in capital of Kenya Nairobi.
   That day I wished to call in 11 mornings to Russia from the international
Public telephone booth, the traveller recollects. But something has detained. If
To speak fairly simply was impatient because of any local dish. And
If was not impatient, I before you would not sit any more...
   Exactly in 11 mornings at a building of embassy of the USA in Nairobi the powerful has thundered
The explosion which victims became more than 80 persons. From a public telephone booth
And a trace does not remain. A picture which has seen Lysenko, arrived into place
Explosion in 20 minutes, till now at it before eyes also does not give easy
To sleep.
   - America has considered, that terrorists were from Sudan, - speaks
Vladimir. - and on this country cruise missiles just at that time have departed,
When I there have got. By the way, this country very poor, but people in it the friend
To the friend help, share bread and products. Tourists-Americans in Sudan
Practically is not present. I remember, in Atabare one local aksakal has approached to me and
Has asked, whence I. Having heard, that from Russia, he has told: "it is very good. We
We like Russia ". I have taken an interest, why, - and have heard in the answer:" Therefore
That you a counterbalance to Americans ".
   After Sudan, Egypt and Tunis Lysenko the ferry has got over to Sicily
And Italy also has started to go round Europe. Now he has a rest and prepares for two
To the closing stages automobile krugosvetki. In March - April it
Wishes to reach from Novosibirsk to Magadan and if the fate smiles - that
To Chukotka. And is intended to go round round Australia in the summer.
