Hey everyone. Nick here. We've been on tour for almost four weeks now. Summer is really happening down here in the southern parts of Europe. The sun is beating down on my right forearm as I drive and my tan is, thus, uneven. I'm also starting to realise just how important a pair of back-up jeans is. I want to cry every time I pull on this dirt-caked, stinking pair, although they look way cooler now they're falling apart. At least I have shorts.
The shows have been sweet and we've met some awesome people. I have personally fallen in love with Geneva, Opava and Barcelona. We were lucky enough to drive past the Dr Oetker factory in Germany, where the best frozen pizzas are made. We've also seen a great many cows on the motorway. In Germany, all the service stations have sex shops for the truck drivers, which is novel. You can't buy houmous there, but you can buy a cock ring, which makes perfect sense... Right?
We're now in Munich, Germany and about to buy some disposable cameras so we can actually document some of this trip (we've been pretty useless so far, although I plan to write a detailed account of ther whole trip once we get home). We miss our friends and families a great deal, but we're having an amazing time and, in a way, would be happy we never had to go back home. Can't wait to see everyone back in the MCR though. Love to you all. x
