Belgium-Turkey


As a preparation for the longer trip starting November 2002, we've toured Europe. We packed all our stuff, as if we were leaving for Tierra del Fuego to Alaska.

We wanted to find out if our equipment was complete and if it would suffice. We found only small problems: too few ropes and pins for the tent. the 12 Volt to 6 Volt convertor jamming reception on the world-radio receiver, a leaking drinking water system, a pan that was too small for two people, a cotton sweater, that, once wet wouldn't get dry, etcetera.

In general, we're ready for the big one. I did write a few reports, in which I tested a new style. These reports haven't been translated into English (yet?).
