Some of the locations on Leg 1 of the travels – Germany, Switzerland and France. This map reduces months of logistical planning nightmares to something that actually looks disappointingly simple …

The hardest part of this whole endeavour (so far) has been making the blog page. After months of torment, frustration, tears, self-doubt, disbelief, anger, begging my partner James to help (he didn’t, but probably cos he doesn’t know how to do it either) cursing the internet and social media and the laptop and wanting so badly just to throw it hard at a tree (or into the river) I think I might finally have conquered the blog page. Its not amazing, but its adequate. Yeah! Enjoy reading my ‘adequate’ blog :-).
