It's not easy being cheesey.



4pm.
For Messy read Sleepy. Everyone crashes out in a hotel room from exhaustion.
8pm
Out in Prague. It is freezing cold and no-one has got a real coat so the
sensible thing to do is to find a warm bar and have some drinks.
8.01pm

Decide to dine al Fresco. Pick a table the furthest point away from the
outdoor heaters in the belief that the ice cold lagers will keep us warm.
10pm

Some of us are actually turning blue and so, after hearing rumours of a bar
where all the beers are one euro we head off on an expedition into the heart of
Prague. We are in Civvies tonight after deciding that the smell of the Scooby Doo costumes would not mix too well with the fact we have now all had a shower (for some the first of the trip). 10.2pm
The Euro bar eludes us so we hurry into the nearest pub - hypothermia setting in.
12.15pm
The last two days of sleep deprivation and heavy drinking are taking their toll
and, with the prospect of a 12 hour journey tomorrow to our final destination
Amsterdam, a collective decision is taken to retire early (ish).
3.30am
Scooby wonders why he still decided to sleep in the cold van despite the fact there was a spare bed in the hotel just feet from where the van is parked.
DAY FOUR
7am
Another early start as we set off on the last leg. We have travelled 1,700 miles so far and, apart from regularly checking the leaking radiator, the van is performing remarkably. 565 miles to go.We are all looking forward to seeing the look on the Amsterdam stoners faces when real life cartoon characters descend on the Red Light District.
This is the first morning when the van crew has not woken up with murderous hangovers hence the coherent and lengthy blog which actually recalls events as they really happened.
