A word of thanks

So here we are a the start of our hike. It took well over a year of planning, reading, thinking, rethinking and saving. First and foremost we would like to thank our friends, parents, family, managers, colleagues and neighbours for their ongoing support from the get go;
Thank you for listening to our endless stories about weight, kilometers, gpx files, websites, stickers, doubts hopes and plans. Thank you for your patience when we weren’t always able to listen to your story, because we were getting more and more full of our own.
Thank you for all supporting and encouraging us. You have enabled us to do what we do best; Hike, make new friends along the way and dream of one day reaching Istanbul.
Mark and Jolanda
