The beginning

The idea for the 12-Labours trip came to me when driving through the Thai countryside a few months ago. Not sure why the 12 labours of Hercules popped in there, it just did. I thought it could make an interesting idea. Dragonfly has a newsletter that we send out every month, so I asked our readers to send in a task to be completed in each country I'd pass through on my way to England. The first few sent in quickly made me realise that most people enjoy nothing better than making others look stupid e.g. Perform a ballet in Baryshnikov style leotard in the Latvian National Theatre, and drive a go-cart with wheels made of Edam cheese down the highest peak in Holland. Oh well, it's for a good cause!
