Hi all... that's me back in the land of the living after 2 weeks odd of hell.
Our holiday to Europe was a disaster... combination of really bad food poisoning which started the day before we left (thanks to Shawarma King's) Glasgow and horrendous weather.... anyhow I'll condense this as much as I can......
On Saturday 22nd I was in Glasgow picking up some last minute thing's, I thought it was a good idea getting a Falafel wrap from the outlet named above as i've bought from there before and the grub is fine, I called my holiday mate Andy who was working and asked him if he wanted one too, needless to say !... so off I went, picked up a Lamb and a Chicken Falafel, drove back to Dumbarton and both of us scoffed them. All good....so far...till around 6pm.then it started. I was up and down to the bog all night, talk about a ring stinger...holy ****.
Anyhow Andy turns up at my place an hour late on the Sunday morning, I took one look at him...he was gray, covered in sweat, rattling like a junkie on a major come down, he looked as bad as I felt...he like me never got much sleep on the Saturday... what a start to the holiday.
Anyway long story short...made it to Newcastle in plenty of time..despite stopping about 4 times to go to the bog...the shit was pouring out of us, fuckin gallons of the stuff. Got the boat to Amsterdam, got off the boat on the Monday morning and started our descent into Germany 1st stop Heidelberg... 10 miles into it we were soaked to the skin...waterproofs were pretty much useless as the rain was bouncing down, it was that bad we had to get off the autobhan twice as it was simply too dangerous to ride in it, it didn't seem to bother these looney Merc and big Audi drivers blasting past us at way over 100 mph even with the rain 3 inches deep in places...the temperature was 14c freezing...I was miserable. We eventually got to Heidelberg at 6pm, freezing, soaked and ill as anything.
Our days consisted off riding to the next place, getting off the bikes...soaked...shower then into bed..that was basically it Monday thru Friday. I had nothing to eat for 5 days...and could barely keep any water down. Anyhow if I knew just how bad I was going to be I wouldn't have gone... it was a nightmare.
So got home last Monday and it took me till Friday there just to start feeling a bit better and get my strength back, that's why I haven't been online, I just couldn't face recounting this story.
Anyhow all is good, feeling way better, mind you I could do with a week in Spain, lying about getting cooked in the sun lol... so what's been happening on here then chaps ?
