Author: Kim Letson. Published by West Moon Publishing, Victoria, BC., 2021, 1st Edition, Dedicated and Signed by Author. Printed in Canada. Like New Condition SOFTCOVER Book.
On a blistering September morning in 2016, intrepid friends in their sixties – Kim and Pat – set off on foot from Durrës, Albania towards Istanbul, Turkey. Tracing the route of a Roman road, the Via Egnatia, they dedicate their endeavour to raising funds for refugee relief.
Owing to a guidebook that overstates amenities, the trek becomes more challenging than expected. As they negotiate hurdles, test their endurance, and encounter human smugglers and feral dogs, an indomitable sense of humour, a personified GPS, and an imagined Roman legionnaire see them through daily adventures.

Her books include: In the Footsteps of a Roman Legion - Walking the Via Egnatia, Soul of a Nomad - The Journey Continues, and Pomegranates at 4800 Metres - Journeying at Home and Away.
