Oslo-D2; 2 of 4 KON-TIKI RAFT MUSEUM

Kon-Tiki Museet- Remember Thor Heyerdahl, an incredible advocate for World Peace, who became world famous when he crossed the Pacific Ocean in 1947 from South America (Peru) to Polynesian Islands with his Kon-Tiki Balsawood Raft (and later sailed with Ra, Ra II and Tigris). We saw the raft!!! What a fun walk down memory lane from when I read about him and saw the movie. It was a great book and movie from 1950 and then in 2012.

NOTE: See the TWO RED MEN TRAFFIC LIGHT! Why? There are two red men on traffic lights and only one green “in case one didn’t work”, they felt redundancy was important because lights and bulbs were unreliable. They have kept this design although bulbs are much more reliable now because they think it increases visibility and therefore reduces accidents. What do you think?Leggi altro
