I happened to meet two nice youngsters from Switzerland, who are on a world trotting on two bicycles, near the Calicut University campus at about 12 noon on 04.12.2009. They are Mr.Luckas Talman and Ms.Sabeen Vigar. Its very wonderful to see the duo untertaking bicycle tour across the world inspite of all difficulties. When I met them here, they were on their way to the famous historical sea port, Kappad, where Vascodagama alighted centuries back via Calicut and then through the hilly curves of Waynad to reach Sulthan Bathery. From there, to Mysore, Bangalore etc..All on the bicycles is really commendable and advententurous. At a time when we even find to walk little or short distances, the long journey of these friends through the heart of the continents is really admirable and deserves appreciation. I, along with my journalist friend Mr.Devadas of Malayala Manorama (extreme right in the foto) had a very friendly conversation with them for about half an hour in the midst of their hectic journey.They were highly appreciative of the scenic beauty of Kerala, its people and culture Let me wish these two lovable Swiss all the best in their journey
Thank you, Pramod, in the name of Switzerland
