In 1980 Sir Geoffrey Furlonge travelled with a small group, including myself, to South America.
It was intended to follow in the footsteps of Thor Heyerdahl’s “Kon Tiki” expedition.
I was 30 years old at the time, and Sir Geoffrey in his early eighties. He was an absolute delight to be with, and insisted on calling me’Popsy’! I told him a wonderful joke about a Lion-Tamer which amused him for a long time afterwards. He said how much he wished that I could have been with him when he attended “those stuffy Embassy dinners”; I wish I could have too, but dining with him in the only hotel on Easter Island in August 1980, more than made up for it.
