England to Portugal A few years ago, a few friends and I decided it would be in our best interest to drive to Portugal for the Boom festival.
The most interesting points of the journey include:
* Being woken up by armed French police as we'd been unable to find a campsite, so decided to sleep in our tents on the beach. They were very angry, until they realised we were English then they just swore at us and basically told us to fucking move it.
* Asking for directions to a campsite, being waved in by all the lovely French people (who were staring at our lady friends). The morning after, I clambered drunkenly out of my tent to be greeted by lots of men with their balls and cocks out. Little did we know it was a nudist camp. No wonder they were so friendly.
* Driving into yet another French campsite, which was seemingly deserted of all members of staff. We did try and pay, but there was nobody around. The tuck shop was open, but there was nobody there either. So we just drove away without paying.
* Witnessing three people parachuting out of a hot air balloon. The first two guys were fine, but the third guy got his line tangled and span all the way down, only finally opening his chute precariously close to the ground, luckily he landed in a lake.
* Forgetting we had stashed some weed in our car (in a tent in the roofbox) and being stopped by Portugese border authorities who then attempted to search our car. We decided to let them continue, whilst we sat on the pavement and played guitar. They gave up after realising that we had literally tons of crap in the car, although they did get very hostile at discovering a plastic bag of cigarette filters. They left us alone, when they realised it was far too much of a hassle to go through every bag, rucksack, tent, cooking appliance etc and let us move on. Although they kept the cig filters for some reason.
Guess you had to be there.
