My tour-ending newsletter has finally been sent! With too much delay, for which I apologise. I did and saw too much and couldn't get my thoughts organised. The blank page/empty screen syndrome...
But now I've finally finished it. If you want to reread any of the stories: behind the concise trip report and the sights/cities I visited along the way, there are links to the longer articles on my blog and/or to the photo albums on Flickr.
And if you want to help with fundraising for Ukraine: the WhyDonate platform is still online until 15 December.
