the adventures of the poo... wicked van tour 09

89 Days.... 19 Countries.... 18000kms.... 89 hangovers.... 1 Van........... Fuck wat a ride.

We picked up our van.... the poo... at around 10am, we thought it would be an easy trip out to Dover. our sat nav had other ideas, about an hour and a half later we on the edge of london and on our way.. reaching france was a mile stone in its own and we didnt realise that we were on the wrong side of the road. our first night with the poo was on the beach overlooking the sunset wat had we just started???? we awoke to the sunrise and realised this would be the best thing we had done.

5 days later and we ended up at a little festival call running of the bulls where we met all the crazy wicked van tourers and got pissed... We all woke up with hangovers some of us still pissed, ready for the opening ceramony which was a crazy sangria soaked party in the town centre. our whites were soon purple..once we survived that we headed back to camp for more booze. Most of us partyed al night woke up at 6am 1st bus in to town where all the boys geared up for the first day of running with the bulls, some of the boys were so nervous they didnt sleep just partyed al night long. we made some long life friends... 

Zarautz was the best campsite.. we all sat on the hill and watched the sunset overlooking the beach.. Free wifi.. good food.. lots of booze.. great bunch of friends life couldnt get any better..

Lagos was insane happy hour all you can drink and eat for an hour.. booze cruise everyone that came back from it was so drunk the could hardly walk.. lagos was so cheap to get drunk.. after being there for just over a week we headed back to spain.. 

Italy was amazing everything we expected but 100 times better.. unreal food.. spent too much money..We met in rome for the spanish step pub crawl.. 100 people all keen to get as drunk as possible.. caught wrong bus ended up on other side of town.. uforgettable cab ride home.. 50 euro later and miles past the campsite.. after directing cab driver back to camp drunk we made it a couple hours later..

When driving in albania please remember to avoid peak hour on a  friday afternoon as we saw a bear, 3 crashes, wild donkeys,dogs,cats, horses.. drove threw a fire on the side of the road.. found a nice campsite they served italian food. good food nice people.. went swimming in non poluted area which was beautiful and clear.. took 2days to get out of there..  

we partyed hard in ios.. sat round the pool by day sipping cocktails or doing beach activites from wake boarding to tubing drinking and dancing till 8pm then heading to the pubs and clubs for an unforgettable time.. walking home when the sun was coming up.. slep  a lttle and do it all again the next night.. 4 wheeler in santorini was fun honning down the road one wrong turn and you would fall flat on your face.. we caught a 36hr ferry from patra in greece to venice... 

Switzerland was a country we defentley would love to visit again. gruyere a small town that produces gruyere cheese was the highlight the town was only a km long at the top of the hill was a museum all these little shops lined both sides of the road you couldnt drive up there just walk.. it rained almost the whole time we were in switzerland we went to 2 cheese factories and a chocolate factory.

Austria was beautiful we camped at the top of this mountainin salzburg where al these people were paragliding. there was a toliet we were sold.. we sat on the edge of the cliff and waited for all the city lights to come on.. the sound of music was filmed there.. Verditz was at the bottom of austria was also beautiful theis lake was packed with people swimming they had blow up boats, paddle boats

Amsterdam... stoned, expensive parking, beautiful scenery.. good market shopping




we got pulled up switzerland boarder the took our driver licence, international licence passports and were gone for about 10minutes we were starting to worry they werent goin to let us in.. they let us go and told us to have a safe trip.. we were in liechtenstein we had left germany 40 minutes earlier we had switzerland on out left austria on our right .driving to liechtenstein was interesting it is the second smallest country in the world.. not alot there but worth the visit

Germany was great we caught up with everyone. the 100 club was another story the grossest thing we have ever seen.. al the aussie and kiwi goin to any length to prove they are the grossest person. Ocktoberfeast was unreal.. it was like a massive country fair..lots of beer, crazy beer wenches carrying 14 1 litre steins.. awesome food.. great german company.. we left a couple of days later and was heading towards france to see the english countryside.14hr
later we are back in uk... camped on the beach for the night.. bishop sutton was the highlight of england this little town with a pub.. no fences just hedges.. a 5 star campsite.. what a way to end the trip..

campsites in europe were amazing equipped with bars, resturants,mini marts, some had swimming pools and mini bus services.. all you needed...

We were at the end of our trip we had an awesome time.. our van was able to be parked in secure parking in big cities due to it being under 2m. a house for 3months on wheels. what a amazing trip best way to see europe..
