god says go



A blessing from the divine road-tripper himself was in order. It might have meant going off course by about 50kms to Waterford but for this photo it was worth it.

You could make it from Dublin to Berlin in less than 48 hours. The ferry out of Cork to Roscoff takes seventeen hours and then French motorways can take you right over to Strasbourg in about twelve hours and then the autobahn, going at whatever speed you feel like, will take you up through Frankfurt into Berlin in about eight hours. It could be done easily enough but then so could taking out your own eye with a blunt blade. I like to piss, eat and sleep every so often so for this trip we're going to take it a bit slower and cut down through central France over the Jura and into the Swiss Alps.

On the road this morning, we got a couple of boy racers pulling up close to take camera phone shots and a lot of little kids shouting 'wow' and 'deadly'. One cheeky fuck flashed a peace sign. Thanks Maser. I said make it stand out and that's what you did. The filthy hippie mobile rolls on.
