From inside front cover flap:



On 16th of April 2008 Michael and Victoria embarked on an adventure that they would cherish and remember for the rest of their lives. The following pages are an account of the events that took place in each country visited. From the sights that we saw, the people we met, the food we ate and the incredible scenery we enjoyed.



Travelling stimulates a plethora of emotions from pain, stress and hardship to sheer amazement, love and wonder. I have tried to put into words when we experienced these feelings but there will never be a substitute for experience.



All of the blogs have been reworked and many of them largely rewritten (and the atrocious spelling corrected) as they were pretty rubbish on first publication.



An enormous thank you must go to our families. Their constant support, contact and encouragement kept us going and provided the motivation to keep blogging. Our special achievement is also theirs.
