What He indicated that he felt adrenaline as if he were on the springboard of death due to the fright he felt when passing under the rocks and abysses in the middle of a heavy downpour.
“When one burns adrenaline it is the perfect road, it surpasses all. Because of the rain, you don’t know if the mountain is going to come down at any moment. At one point we had to stop to drink a brandy because we were scared, we didn’t know if we were coming or not”, specified the minister.
