ADVENTURERS REACH THE END OF A GRANDIOSE JOURNEY.
March 22, 1999 Bertrand Piccard, the Swiss psychiatrist-dreamer, and his British co-pilot, Brian Jones, set their globe-circling balloon down on remote Egyptian moonscape Sunday, linking the dawn of a new millennium with a civilization 5000 years old.
-Up there it was grandiose, absolutely grandiose, Piccard said with a smile suggesting that was not the half of it. Several times he stopped trying to find words and fought back teras. Jones beamed at his side, nodding happily.
Together they conquered the last great challenge of the air, floating more than 26000 miles around the earth in their Breitling Orbiter 3. They crossed the finish line over Mauritania at 4:54 a.m last Saturday. At the end, strong winds over Libya boosted them to 39600 feet and carried them on to a landing in Egypt.
Jules Verne fantasized the exploit in a novel called Five Weeks in a Balloon. But Piccard and Jones did it in less than three, combining space-age technology with the oldest of human motivations : guts and a quest for glory.
Piccards wife, Michelle, waited in Cairo, biting her nails and calming her three young daughters. She had sat up until early Sunday with Swiss television crews, poring over maps while sifting through fragments of contradictory information on the balloons trajectoiry. She was Piccards first thought after he emerged from the Egyptian army helicopter that brought the pilots from the landing site, a flat patch among dunes and rocky hills about 50 miles north of this oasis settlement in western Egypt. My next exploit will be something Ive been wanting to do for a long time, which is sit with my wife and daughters and father in front of a warm fireplace and tell them about this trip , the 41 year-old doctor said.
Jones said the worst part was the cold. All of our water, he said. It was very, very cold up there.
FACT and FIGURE : Five Weeks in a Balloon

He leaves with Passepartout his servant, and , together with a detective, they have many adventures in various exotic countries. When they arrive in England, 81 days later, they realize that, thanks to time lag, they have won 24 hours and their bet.
