"You guys must be a bit crazy to do something like this" - that was current Formula One champion and Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 driver, Lewis Hamilton's, first reaction as I explained the GLAadventure.
In less than two weeks after we, ever-so-enthusiastically, started the GLAadventure, the team has already clocked good figures - six international borders crossing Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria and Italy.
We spent the first day getting the war paint as it were put on the cars - the GLAadventure decals.
On a journey, a smartphone/tablet is always one of your best companions - whether it is for entertainment or for useful information.
You know how you think you know it all, and not in an egotistical way either - and yet you don't? That's how we all felt - maybe more so in a combined sense - when we descended on a workshop to take us through the vehicles that will be our companions through the GLA Adventure.
Jitters, excitement - it is at times like these that one truly understands the meaning of such words. The occasion was after all a big one - the flag-off of the first ever around-the-world drive from India certainly qualifies as big!
