Longyearbyen

Once a journey is designed, equipped and put in process,

a new factor enters and takes over.

A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from

all other journeys.

It has personality, temperament, individuality,

uniqueness. A journey is a person in itself;

no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing and

coercion are fruitless.

We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip;

a trip takes us.
