England-Europe Mission!





After many many hours of flying I finally made it to London! Lizzy and Mike kindly came and picked me up from Heathrow airport and we headed back to Nottingham, doing a bit of Van shopping along the way! It was awesome to be back in England!The weather was even nice:) Mike D and I then spent the next day searching for a van! We came across one that looked promicing, however when the seller failed to give us the registration documents we decided it was a bit dodgy and to move on! The next day we came across an LDV convoy Long wheel Base Van!It seemed pretty sweet so we invested in it!
After a long overnight journey we arrived in Praha. We had one small hickup along the way with a tyre blowing up on the German Motorway!But we were lucky to be in a position to pull to the side of the road and stop quickly. We are now in Praha staying at Valvras house. It is outside of Praha City a fair bit and is really cool!It has been a lot of fun! Today we went paddling on the course which was good. Then we went to watch a Ice Hockey match!It was awesome! Ice Hockey is really big in the Czech Republic.
Tommorrow we are heading to a Kayak course called Tranavka, it is a really big white water course. I am quite excited. For now I must go to bed as the jet lag has hit me very hard, I am sooo tired! We must sort out insurance for our van tommorrow as we cannot drive without it!
