Spectacles of Nature and Technology

SEP 30, 2015 – After a more streamlined immigration to France, we spent a first night in a simple B&B near Kourou. A short jungle hike led to a viewpoint whose main attraction were the numerous large spiders. One of them was fed a half-dead beetle that we found nearby – and nature provided us with a magnificent spectacle. In the afternoon we attended a much bigger, man-made show: The launch of Ariane 5 flight VA226. Images cannot transport the intensity of light and sound during such an event!
