Today was the final day of the Wacken road trip. After a fabulous sleep in a very comfy bed we got up and headed downstairs for a massive breakfast before going back to our room prior to getting back on the bus.
Have to admit I am feeling a tad rough today. I am running a bi of a temperature, ache all over and still feel like I am coughing up Wacken fields. Hopefully I'll return to normal soon although that seems unlikely when faced with many many more hours back on the bus.
While waiting for departure Toni and I watched some German TV. It's amazing how many English words get used in their adverts even when there are German words that could be used.
We watched a hilarious program where a German glamour model had to go and live with a family and help out with general chores. The had house pigs which were cute but the model was totally grossed out.
Journey started out ok but it all went downhill a bit when we reached Holland with various people not paying the toilet attendant and then hurling abuse at the counter staff because a machine didn't give change. Apparently this was by design and the machine next to it did have a sticker to that effect in various languages including English. The defence that the machine in question didn't have a sticker didn't really wash and it was all a tad embarrassing. I ended up apologising to the staff as it looked bad on us.
The drive through Belgium was very slow, due to traffic and accidents, but was also uneventful (thankfully). It was also very hot as the weather was glorious which isn't so good when you are stuck in a bus and not moving very fast. Stopped off at a very nice service station where we could get some decent food.
We arrived in Calais two hours early so we had a chance to do absolutely fuck all as there was fuck all there!
Smooth crossing, Toni, Sam, Mike and I went and grabbed some food and had a chat with some goths who had been to M'ere Luna.
The concept of Anal Bullet Time and the Ardenfast Zombie Slayers is developing very well and more will follow on this soon! I have also found that Anal Bullet Time is a Googlewhack so I am really chuffed!
After a couple of hours we dropped Mike off at Three Bridges station and then went to SPiT HQ (via Tesco) to unload the ReTardis and load up the car before driving back to Eltham.
It's been one he'll of an adventure and experience. Thank you to Vikki and Z for giving us the opportunity to be a part of it.
It's now 02:00 on the 10th so GOOD NIGHT! Might have to try and blah an extra day off as 48 hours on the road in a cramped bus and a late finish has left ne shattered!
