  • Summary

  • Holly and Gerry Fitzgerald married in 1970 and wanted to have the honeymoon of a lifetime. 
    They worked all the hours they could to save money for year of travelling. 
    In late 1972, they started their honeymoon, travelling South America. In the start of January 1973, they set off in a plane from Pucallpa. (Yes, that is the exact same town that Juliane Koepcke's plane went down in, just a year prior). 
    They now found themselves in the jungle having to find their own way out. 
    After some friendly advice from a fellow traveller they built a raft and started their journey down the Madre de Dios River to freedom. Things got rough for Holly and Gerry. 
    Listen in this week to hear what happened to Holly and Gerry in part 1 of this story.

    This mentions Juliane and Yossi due to some mind blowing coincidences I found out whilst researching! If you liked those episodes you'll adore this one!
