Yesterday didn’t go quite as planned – our dear partner in crime (Patrick) was three hours late to the party and turned up just as Stace and I had finished the emotional goodbyes with our families… so we went without him…. he managed to over-take us on the way to Harwich though so the joke was on us as we arrived at the ferry and he was already through passport control and waiting for us to get on!
The party was fantastic – there’s loads of photos on Facebook – go look… they’re there somewhere… I should have ordered more food.. and certainly should have made more potato salad – fun fun fun…
Today was really long – I didn’t sleep at all on the ferry and just hit a brick wall at about 2pm – I had to pull over and force down Red Bull – it’s hideous by the way – but it did get me to Berlin in one piece.
We saw nothing of Holland and Germany other than the motorway network – that was always the plan – but still it still feels a bit wrong. Tomorrow we hit Poland – only 185 miles (rather than the 450 today) so we can take our time, take in the sights and enjoy the country through which we’re traveling.
PS – The podcasting isn’t working right now – we don’t know why but I’m looking into it!
Watched your podcast last night live, so that’s working okay – just couldn’t message you via the speech bubble! Have put a little video of your leaving on FB and Flickr. Enjoy Poland! 😀
Surely it should be one for all and all for one? It’s a bit off that you left without Patrick, let’s hope similar doesn’t happen whilst you’re away in a foreign country that you don’t know.
Glad the journey is going well, just hope you all manage to stick together for the rest of it!

Hi Lads
Sounds and looks like you’re having a rollercoaster of a trip. Stay positive, stick together and I’m sure it’ll all come good. The bad bits will make the good bits taste even sweeter in the end.
We’re all thinking of you down here in Hastings, and watching your adventures with pride.
Stay safe.
Ian, Lou & Elise
