Reviews"
It was an idea born while hiking the famed Camino de Santiago
across Spain. Two men shared a dream of trekking from Europe to the
Middle East on the ultimate road trip. It just happened to be a
path walked by thousands of Crusaders, pilgrims and merchants
during the Middle Ages, a time when wars, unforgiving weather, wild
dogs, and an ever changing cast of weird characters tested even the
toughest traveler.
As they say, The more things change, the more they stay the
same. Two modern-day travelers discover the truth when they take on
that same ultimate challenge to hike the Templar Trail across 11
countries and 2,600 miles to Jerusalem. Throwing themselves out
into the universe with bad maps, blisters, but plenty of optimism,
they face identical challenges in search of adventure, life s
meaning and lasting peace. Proving that even today, there s nothing
like a little war to shake your strongest resolve.
With 44 photos, maps and illustrations
