Danger danger!

We're chilling out at a beach resort resting on the shores of a tranquil lake in the eyepoppingly beautiful Rwanda. A beer in one hand, all your valuables clanched painfully tight in your right. Everything is as it should be, exept for a few looming worries in the horizon.


1. An active volcano actually lighting up the night sky with molten lava. If this deathtrap were to blow up, as it has on several occasions, with us in the emmediate proximity, things would have been looking grim indeed. If flying chunks of lava failed to do the job a well aimed pyroclastic stream would have cleaned the table.

2. A thin layer of lake floor acting as the solitary lid for one of the worlds biggest natural pockets of methane gas. If the lid were to slip just a little, as it did in Congo not too many years ago, it would result in a explosive expansion of invisible deadliness with the potential of suffocating every living creature for miles around. Not to mention the tidal wave that would sweep any potential survivor of his feet. The last thing you would experience before your death would be the horribly familiar smell of human fart.

3. Not much to say about this place really. Two well known Norwegian lunatics cuddling with their fellow inmates in a shower just 400 meters down the street.

4. Safety! Well, as safe as we'll get concidering the circumstances. And by the way, moms and dads. By the time you read this we're safe and sound in the muslim capital of Tanzania, where people get stoned for taking their pig for a stroll.

  1. Husk gode sko hvis dere skal vasse i lava.

    Og ikke for å være prippen, men metan lukter ikke. Så eneste måten dere vil lukte promp på under metanutslipp er hvis dere slipper en selv.

    Kos dere videre på tur :)
