    I agree that's the case, I did not want to change to much the first time around. I will try a rewrite of the first segment, to keep the same info, but make it slightly more manageable (or less sub-sentency ;) )

    I will also try a rewrite of the traveller's log in first person point of view, which would make it more like an actual traveller's log. I will update my post later today.

    I like this option, (I also agree with your suggestion Arjos), but this one makes the sentence a bit easier to digest.

    Sorry, could you post again here when you consider that it's done? I can't be sure as long as it says you'll continue when you've had some rest...
