So the sleeping to fight jet lag didn’t seem to work out well. I ended up having to go for a jog at 3am in London, next time I’ll NOT sleep to cure my jet lag.

Yesterday we took the ferry from the beautiful white cliffs of Dover to some lame place in France. It was pretty neat the ferry reminded me of the MV Explorer, especially the familiar ding of the PA system. Lot’s of people got seasick or had to lay down, not me though! Then we began our trek to the land of waffles beer and chocolate. The Delerium Tremmens tastes about 5 times as good directly from the tap. We saw this sweet statue of a little boy peeing, oh wait that was not a neat statue it was just weird and anti-climatic.

The group didn’t turnout that bad afterall, all the saudis were with a different group. We do have a few that hail from the land of Suid Afrika, I write it this way because their native language is Afrikaans. Our tour manager, Dave, said we can just call them Team South Africa. They’re interesting, but not in a way that I want to talk to them. At least the canadians and most of the austrailians are fun.

We’re just leaving for Amsterdam now, dashboard confessional is playing on the bus, oh wait now it’s… Avicii.

Cheers,
