Description

This episode is all about travel. But it's not about travel, motived by warm beaches, cool oceans, palm trees, great mountains or even relaxing. It's about following that special shadow the moon casts upon the face of the sun. There is round about one total solar eclipse happening on Earth per year. But to see it, you have to be in the right place. Paul provides you with all the insights you need, to plan your next trip, so you will witness the darkening of our star, right above us. When the sky grows black during daytime, the birds stop chirping and a cool breeze picks up. You should see it at least once in your lifetime. And don't wait for it to show up at your doorstep. Follow the shadow of the moon!
