So I'm walking to Istanbul . . .
I'm here!! After 2 and half days of walkıng through the city I ate my lunch under the Bosphorus bridge, looking across the water to Asia. The edge of Europe and the end of a long walk for me. I can not tell you how it feels becasue right now I don't really know. I will fill you in after a few more days!
It's ıncredibley hard to try and understand 4500km, 11 and half months, tired knees, eyes and ears, 3 pairs of boots, 3 sets of trolley wheels, uncountable blisters; smiles, tears and pain; sunburn, wındburn and chafing burn; thumbs up, thumbs down, human kindness, warm hearts, cold hands and so many more people than just me. But my little legs have carried me here and I wanted to share it with you all! x x x

I shall send out the cornish messenger seagulls- with hearty words of congratulations, to try do justice to this grand feat of life, living and inspiration. An adventure embraced with both feet- I am happy in the knowledge that more people in the world have met you. Hip hip hip hurrahey!!
Chris & Sylvia What an incredible achievement, Raz! Most of us just dream of such an adventure - but you just went & did it. And you shared it so generously with all of us. I don't know how many steps you took, but you must be even shorter now. What did you just do? It will take quite a long time to sink in, because what you did was stunning!! Now - take care of yourself. Congrats & un abrazo from Spain.
