Departure...

Our journey started on the 1st of April in Zurich. I have been working almost day and night before leaving to have all projects up to date for my absence. And we needed prepare our apartment as we let it to some good friends of us, a family with two beautiful teenage girls who had their apartment renovated during the time we were in Iran. So our apartment was not empty and we did not need to worry about thieves or other problems related to leaving a house unoccupied. So in the morning of the first April, we packed our car, checked our tent and all the baggage and started happily southwards. Our plan was to drive by Thusis and pass by the cementry to visit our parents there before we leave for Tessin, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Turkey and Iran. Beautiful weather expected us - it was snowing!!
