Other people’s thoughts on our route...
“It’s a bit like torture really. I’d rather have a nice holiday!”
“Everything you’ve done up until now has been brilliant... trips to Scotland, Lake District, North Africa, France... But this one... you might aswell be going to the moon!”
“My mate went travelling. He went all the way to Australia. He went on a plane and he’s back already.”
“Tajikistan? I’ve never even heard of it! It sounds like a made-up name... like something out of Lord of the Rings.”
