Gobeil’s crazy  trip to Amazonia

 

When Gobeil heard that the VHL players had a week off and everyone can travel he decided to do a trip he always wanted to do. A fishing trip in the Amazonian forest. At first, Gobeil thought this was going to be a simple trip that will go pretty well if it is well planned but things didn’t go as planned.

 

Sunday, 10:34 AM:

Gobeil arrive to Prague’s airport and gets himself ready into the plane, he brought with him his Ipad with some downloaded Netflix movies. A few hours after the plane started, the weather changes and the pilot gets a warning that he may have to make a detour to New York city to stay for the night until the storm is over in brazil. Things doesn’t get better and they land in New York city for the night.

 

Tuesday, 5:20 AM:

The storm is over, Gobeil can get in the plane and head to Brazil.

 

Tuesday, 6:04 PM:

Gobeil’s plane land in Rio de Janeiro and he can get into his taxi to go to his hotel, which he only rented for 1 night as he will go in the Amazonian forest the next day.

 

Wednesday, 5:30 AM:

Gobeil is getting everything ready, paying his room then he gets into the SUV he rented to go to his fishing spot, he has 400km of dirt road to do

 

8:17 AM:

233 kms into the road, his SUV start making some strange noises, Gobeil stop on the side of the road and open the hood, trying to figure out what is that strange noise. As the car is stopped, he notice some smoke coming out of the engine bay, at this point, he knew it was critical damages. Him and his guide spent a few hours trying to repair the mechanical problem and they ended up managing to ease the noise and the smoke. They both knew it wouldn’t last forever but if it can bring them to their spot, they have a satellite radio to call an helicopter once they finished their trip. So, they pack their stuff back in and they start the car to continue their road.

 

 

4:30 PM:

Gobeil and his guide arrive to the destination, they are both tired and they decide to relax for a bit before walking in the forest.

 

5:28 PM:

The two men doesn’t want to get caught by the night so they decide to start walking to their boat. They rented a small boat from a local man and they have the GPS location of it. When they arrive to the boat location, they spend half an hour trying to find the said boat, looking everywhere without success. The only thing they found is some iron chains that seems to have been cut. That was probably the chains that were holding the boat. It was now official, they were 400kms in the Amazonian forest with a broken SUV and their both stolen. Night is coming and they both hardly see each others, so they decide to go back to their car and sleep in it.

 

1:46 AM:

Something wake them up, they are not alone, something is outside, they heard it growl. Both of them are awake with their eyes wide open, not even daring to move. They know their doors are locked but they still doesn’t feel much safe. It walks around the car, it clearly spotted them, probably by the smell. Gobeil turn a bit to his guide and whispers to ask what makes that noise, the guide being a native from Amazonia remain silent. Gobeil gets the feeling that the man knows what it is but is too afraid to talk. Then the mysterious animal lay its paws on the driver window, it’s a large paw with claws, there is no doubt, it’s a Jaguar. After 1 hour, the animal seems to loose interest and the silence is back. Having a jaguar growling beside your car is scary but the silence after that is torture. Both the men, spent the night not sleeping, just looking around hoping it doesn’t come back.

 

6:00AM:

The sun is rising, it is morning, the Jaguar seems gone so Gobeil dares to open his door and look around. As he gets out of the car, he steps on a small tree branch and jumps at the sound of it as he is already nervous. He looks down and notice it was nothing. He looks around his car, there is a flat tire, that’s bad news. When he looks closer, there is bites on the tire, it must have been the jaguar. Both the men looks at each other’s, wondering if they should call the helicopter and cancel their fishing trip. They want to catch monster fishes but not at the cost of their life. So, they decide to grab the radio and call for help. After a few attempts, someone finally respond to them and they manage to get an helicopter coming to save them.

 

8:00 AM:

 

The Helicopter lands a few hundred meters from them, both the men, grab their stuff and jump in the helicopter to fly back to Rio de Janeiro. When they arrive to Rio de Janeiro, Gobeil goes to the place he rented the SUV and tries to make a deal with them as the car wasn’t in good conditions when he rented it. Again, things doesn’t go as planned, and Gobeil is forced to pay for the whole process of sending a tow truck 400km in the forest to bring back the car in the city to repair it, which is about 12500$, it is a lot of money but he didn’t have much choice.

 

Thursday 8:44 PM:

Gobeil is back at his home in Prague, he is safe and exhausted but he still has a few days before his next game as he came back home earlier than planned. The next time he goes travelling, he might think of a safer idea.
