Nearly there!
Picked up the van (which is enormous!) Rebecca¡¯s used to a Nissan Micra, but Piers is a professional ¨C he used to drive an ice-cream van¡.
Big Chief Super Whip. Best 99 in southern England¡¡. Van has a telly! And as we put keys in ignition, the radio is playing God Save the Queen live from Frankfurt! A good omen perhaps!
Roads were completely empty and managed to catch the second half of England/Paraguay in the service station. A GLORIOUS WIN¡.well a win at least which will do us for now¡.
On the Sea France ferry for Sweden v Trinidad and Tobago. There¡¯s one telly and we¡¯re the only ones watching! Are the French not interested in this World Cup at all? Meet an American who fancies the USA to surprise the tournament with its offense/defence power-play on the forty-nine yard line.
Remembered to drive this monster on the right which was a good start to our European trek¡..inching closer to the action.
