Francisco Pizarro {Part 5} #short #history #fatherofhistory #viral #empire #franciscopizarro #incas

It's Mr. Michael Turner again, the teacher of PE and humanities. We're making part two of the video. We've arrived at the base of the summit for Cerro Brewster, Cerro Mountain in Panama, which is halfway across the Panamanian Isthmus, which links the Pacific with the Atlantic ocean. And it was here at this watering hole where Francis Drake stopped and he was taken up the mountain to see two oceans, which we're going to visit tomorrow. We've hiked about six, eight kilometers. Yeah. This is Caleb, the expedition leader. This is Dorita. She's a Panamanian vet. This is the diplomat, Neil. He's from England. He works in the embassy in Panama city. And this is chef. He's a 62 year old legend. And I'm very lucky to be brought by these people because I'm celebrating 40 years of keeping fit, running my own fitness program since I left school and it's paying dividends because years of cycling, swimming, and running have helped me get in shape for this massive expedition, because we are in the Chagres national park. And by your standards of being taught about national parks in the national curriculum, we haven't got cars and fields and gates and animals and kiosks and people walking around. We're on our own in the middle of dense virgin jungle and national parks in Panama, as Caleb tells us is all about conservation areas. They didn't go out of their way to promote tourism because the trails here are extremely steep. We've been walking along a mountain ridge, which links the mountain tops that Drake walked on from this one Southwest towards Panama city. And we're walking on ridges. That sounds good. Just walking on a level ridge, looking at the views, but these ridges are steep ups and downs. But as Caleb tells us, if we weren't on a ridge, we'll be going steep ups and downs, traversing valleys. So we could be traveling 10 kilometers, but only traveling three in the direction. And this is the end of part two. Thanks for listening. We'll be back with you tomorrow. Fin.
