Ready, set, go!
With a 17kg backpack for each of us, full of clothes, bedroll, pots, stoves, books and lots of enthusiasm, we took the train to France at 1 o'clock in the night. We travelled in 6 person, but we plan to split in two groups after the second day, when I and other two friends (Marco and Federico) would travel around France, while the others would go directly to Amsterdam.
I feel the need to mention that summer 2003 was one of the hottest summer of the century, and carring our heavy backpack all the time was a real pain, but hey, this was just the first day, at the end of this 22 days-long travel we were pulling like bulls without any fatigue.
