Europe and Asia

A big world-like thanks to each and everyone Driver, who brought us a mile closer to our Dream. To all the nameless by-passers who smiled, encouraged, gave us their gardens, yards and homes to sleep over, delicious meals and food supplies, money and gadgets. We keep on remembering you, and everyone was important to our Journey. Our Journey got that way thanks to you too!
