Deutschland Uber Alles?


8.30pm 1310 miles and we made Munich. Water levels and temperature consistent with an engine that has only a little life to give. Map reading a breeze compared with Paris and a hotel with car park is secured. We are all happy bunnys.

9pm Many people say that the Germans have a bad sense of humour. We can categorically state that is not true. Germans have NO sense of humour at all.Our five piece Scooby combo is met by mere indifference by the sour faced residents of Munchen. The bar we meet in has an atmosphere similar to a wake of a detested aunt. We eat, shoot the breeze and make an executive decision to go somewhere else.

11.45pm Irish Bar. We walk in straight to bar in convoy. Cowboys, Ninjas, Scooby Doo and a monkey. Who said Jagermeister was a nasty proposition. The bar is jumping within seconds and Germany suddenly becomes an attractive proposition.

5am The last two members of our crew roll in. Scooby Doo sneaks into the hotel car park for another night in the van. The others have forked out for rooms. The days of 'dirty riding' rely on one crew member, and he is cracking as the 'wet wipe shower' is really not as good as it sounds.

DAY THREE Munich to Prague 230 miles to go

8.30am With hangovers that are yet to kick in we meet up in a car park outside of Munich with other Coyote members before heading to Prague. Is drinking Carling at this time healthy?
Grand National Day and we have absolutely no idea of the runners. Tips welcome.
Graeme is asleep again. Is today the day we get him? Burp Wars and Toenail Wars considered in the back seats but rejected due to fear of escalated retaliation.

Tell Graeme he must get back into character and put on that costume no matter how bad it smells!
