Day 6 in the Big Brutha Special Bus

DRIVING DAY I - EVERY POTHOLE HAS A DIFFERENT STORY

Number of hours in car: 11
Number of potholes driven over: thousands
Number of arguments over animal, mineral, vegetable: at least one per game

Today is the shortest distance we have to cover - 650km, we are heading to Morettes. The game of the day is Animal, Mineral, Vegetable AKA Janet Jackson/Harold Bishop, Bridges, Maracuja. Is a bridge a building? Is a bridge a structure? Is a building different to a structure?

We think we are driving over the worst roads EVER...(see Days 7-21) and it takes us 11 hours, d`oh. Have we bitten off more than we can chew? i find it hard to believe when we are five poeple who have been limited to a diet of cheesey and salty snacks for the last five days!

We spy the road to Morettes which is signposted very vaguely and only once - it takes us down and around a mountain on cobbles for about 20km - Amy feels sick, even the scenery cannot help. What does help is our 5* dinner with Mr Chipolopodous at his lovely restaurant and the oh-so kind people at the hostel we are staying in. Vikki gets her own specially made fish dish for one...well, this might be the last time she gets to eat you know! :)
