A short story about adventure

These are three adventure stories: "The dizziness of weightlessness"

Johann von Meister, 48 years old, businessman. "'20 seconds,' a mumbled voice came from the speaker. After 20 seconds, I will experience the feeling of weightlessness together with 11 other tourists. Beside me, the German woman Anna feels a little uncomfortable; the Chinese Chen Xiang Unfurl a flag and take a photo. We are at an altitude of 9,000 meters above the Gagarin Center. The sound of the engine gradually fades. A gesture makes me soar and touch the ceiling. '5 seconds': I have to get back quickly. On the shock pad. A crew member holds on to the completely overwhelmed Anna. The whole experience lasts for 30 seconds before the engine restarts. "For starters, take three steps before diving into the deep sea. Day training is very necessary. Astronaut training: In order to simulate weightlessness, the space center arranges such flights on aircraft.

“Dive into the Undersea Cave”

Bernd Uwe Gallein, 60 years old, lawyer. "To reach the underwater freshwater caves in Mexico, we have to walk through the jungle. Swarms of mosquitoes attacked us - three divers and a guide. My equipment weighed 20 kilograms and my wetsuit clung to me. We reached our destination. After entering the cave, the guide told us that these caves were formerly drinking water reservoirs for the Maya. The caves were formed due to the action of ice during the last ice age and existed underneath the entire Yucatan Peninsula. We finally dived into one. In front of the cave full of clear water. We entered because it was very narrow. The entrance of the cave was fixed to the cave wall 5 meters below the surface. The guide warned us: "There are several divers missing here." , because they went too far. 'Sometimes, the light shines through the cracks in the cave. Suddenly, I started to float because there was too much gas in the stabilizer. 'Bang! ' I hit the roof of the cave. Fortunately, I did not damage the stalactite. After 35 minutes of diving, we saw the daylight again."

"Mont Blanc, a difficult journey"

Da. Niel Dieng, 45 years old, journalist. "Our eyes are fixed on Mont Blanc (the highest peak in Europe, 4808.45 meters above sea level).

Mountain guide Philippe Bonano explained: "Walking this road is a kind of training for people. In one week, you will learn all the techniques that will allow you to reach the summit." After four days, you have been trained. We were well prepared. After we took the excursion train up the mountain, there was still more than 5 hours and a height difference of 1,500 meters to the alpine hut. The climb went smoothly at two o'clock in the morning the next day. There was a lot of people there. After that, we set out on the road again. The target was 4808 meters above sea level. No one spoke, and we could only hear the sound of anti-skid shoes on the unfrozen snow. We could find many things. Reason to stop. But we can't freeze, we have to move forward slowly. Our minds are frozen and we are breathing hard in the cold. "Follow the footsteps," the guide kept reminding us. At 10:40, we reached the summit. The scenery was majestic and the strong wind blew away the frozen snow. But some people said that the hardest part was yet to come: descending back to the valley.
