Day 32,33, 34,35 & 36 : "its all i have ever wanted"

Its been a a while and large amounts of alchool have been consomed so it a little hazey but ill give it a go

on day 32 or wen 29th of june i bumped in to a english cyclist a 2nd year student who was all so cycling to istanbull so we exchanged detail just in case after the wedding we happen to be in the some country or with in a couple days ride distance at the point of writting this im in italy and he is in germany so prob not going to happen but we will see. so carried on my ride back to the wedding loction, and set up camp.

Thur every ones finally turned up, but before i could meet up with them i had to ride to the recption place and drop my bike of as i was getting a lift, well in it was up amassive hill and all i can say is im glad that i did not have ride up in a suit as no one would be wanting to sit next to me. thank fully i of the the girls that worked there gave a me a lift to the train staion. After a quick kabab i meet up with the englanders in the irish bar (they are every where crazy) it was a very touching moment




well ater a few drinks went back to there hostel where every one bar me, seemed to fall a sleep. But i was saved from totall bordem by mel and frank ..........(andy hehehehe, i kept forgetting his name and im not even sure his a andy but ha ho), mel and bob finaly arrived and me meet up dinner and cocktails, i order what seemsed to be a very manly cocktail the indiana jones which happened to be perhaps the not so manly as it had half a fruit salad stuck in it but it tasted nice and im man engough to pull it off so what the hell. i got the train back got of at the wrong stop had to walk half hour back to camp site and my sandles broke but i was to tied to care

wedding day: it was only after a had dropped off my bike and all my stuff bar wash kit ,pants, sleeping and tent i found out it was not till 1ish i was being picked up so basically after waking up at 7 i had 6 hours to kill with only a i-pod to keep me company. well 4 cups of coffee later i was bouncing of the walls and all ready packed and dressed in my suit by 10 o'clock i stayed in this state for a further 4 hours as my lift did not arrive till 2ish i was all so starving as all me food was with my bike. i finlly arried at the wedding and while i did not understand what was going for most of it some thing to do with backpacks, whereing wigs ,sword fighting and plates in backpacks not really sure what was going on but the bride was a laughing so that all thats matters. at this point i should probable say that both the bide and groom where looking hot and that i have never seen some on so smily as ina (the bride) her face must have been killing her after wards. The bits a did understand where very touching. after wards we left the church and the bride and groom planted them self in front of a tent of food which meant to had to say some thing nice to them before you could eat. In near staving state this bordering on a seriouse breach of my human rights and down right craulty but manged to draw on my remaning streagth to utter some words before dash to the food where i stuffed my face. It was shortly after this that newly wed couple had to cut a tree down some thing todo with enforcing team work from the very start of the marriage, while trying to be the one to actully cut the tree down, so pretty much like most marriages smiles on the out side while trying to screw the other one over :) joking honest. we then moved to the reciption place where we dressed up as cowboys and waited for the bride and grome to turn up after the photo shoot, we then wrote message on cards wich me attahced heliem bollens i manged to get 3 of them i wanted to make sure ours went the highest not really sure why one would write a message to some then try to ensure that they never see it must a german thing. the couple a arrived we relised our bollens then ruched to the collected our glass of bubly the cardif crew got there first no surprise really ( cardif crew = uni mates, reading crew = school friends( there is a little cross over as some RC joined the CC(but no ones perfect so we will let them off))) we then had dinner then i kept drinking till 4 o'clock when i decided i needed to go to bed as i was leaving at 6 to meet up with A&L to get a lift to itally :) hehehehee


so saturday woke up after 1 and half hours sleep  feeling awfull had shower said good bye and set off, thank fully the hill had to ride up two days ago, all had to do was roll down it manged to hit 50km a hour before i thought if any thing is come the other way my hange mite finish a lot quicker than is natural so i slowed down. maged to find my way with out getting lost to waldorf where i meet up with A&L ( cant remember how to speel there names ill ask them tomorrow :) ) so put mu bike in the there trailer and set off for itally 9 hours latter we arried to some amazing food and wine lots of wine i love it here it one uro for a litre of wine. went to bed well stuffed.

woke up today around 9ish i think cant remember after a quick breakfast popped to the shops and then came back for more food and wine. played some card game went for a walk then had pizza then went for ice cream at 23:00 ( when say ice cream i mean proper ice cream the sort that will kill from a hart attack it thank fully next to hospital so that says it all really). its a hard life this cycling
