Every adventure begins with looking at maps. Fortunately we have found a very good map store: Stanfords. The people there were very kind and are willing to support us by sending a couple of maps.

They have very exotic maps as well, like three 1:500 000 maps covering the whole Tajikistan, etc.

We have chosen the following maps which they kindly sent us:

If only we could carry all of them with us – I like maps very much, but I’m afraid it would be too much weight to carry. We’ll see.

Sponsor No. 0: the hosting provider

It is not easy to get sponsors in Hungary for such a cycling expedition. Some candidate sponsors whom I’ve contacted told me that even the sportsman who take part in the Olympics find it hard to get sponsors. But I’ve managed to persuade Bittutor Kft., a professional IT tutorial video producing company, to become our zeroest sponsor by providing the web hosting space for our blog. Thanks!
