All right! You might have been wondering: “Where are they at?” To be honest with you, we were questioning ourselves what we were doing, in what order and how.
It has been a challenging last few weeks with getting the apartment empty and our things into storage. I would pack boxes in the evening after dinner and Saeed would take them, once enough were ready, to the basement where everything is being stored. Of course, before leaving he would wait at home in the mornings for the many deliveries of items we had ordered for our journey. Think of an air shower, jerry cans, a water jerry can, tarpolin, first aid items, travel guides, a roof rack (flat packed!), compressor, car parts, etc.
Our living room was in major chaos with boxes half full for storage, others packed and ready to go, bookshelves and corners of the room with things being put together to take on our travels. Ahhh and that in 18m2.
Dear friends invited us for dinner and drinks and unfortunately we were not able to accept due to the mountain which seemed endless to deal with. Allowing ourselves no rest, but making sure everything we wanted went to storage, the apartment was cleaned and the car was filled till the top, we finally head off for the ferry last Tuesday evening and made it in good time.
Our bodies started to release all the tension and suddenly we felt the incredible tiredness of short nights and very long days of the weeks before. Our journey had started!
