Euro Tour Part 1

departure........

And so the day finally arrived, months of planning and saving had gone by and here we all were,
K.G, Grifter, HBos, Zippy and me sat in Squires for our pre trip dinner (it was shite, to be honest, but there you go). We scoffed up, done a last few checks and headed off down a very windy M62 toward our rendezvous with the ferry at Hull. We pulled up at the check-in hut and K.G's poor bike must have been a little tired because it took the opportunity to have a quick lay down while K.G was handing over the passports (this tired bike mullarky would turn out to be a bit of a theme for poor K.G). Onto the ship and our first taste of strapping down bikes, we seemed to wait ages while Grifter wrestled with the perfect combination to fasten his pride and joy down, (basically you couldn't see his bike for bloody rope by time he was satisfied) we got our room keys, had a quick change and a shower then it was down to the bar, we got the first drinks in, "I'm gonna go easy tonight lads" said I "I don't want to ride in a foreign country with a thick head tomorrow." Famous last words, after 5 rounds of pints of Grolsch i was a little bit worse for wear, oh well we were effectively on holiday.
K.G and HBos then decided to have a crack at the casino, well well i never knew K.G was the cosmopolitan type, he was completely at ease on the roulette and the pontoon tables and made sure HBos walked away with a few chips in his sky rocket.
Anyway, off to bed and the morning would bring HOLLAND Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
