  1. GREEN START
    London, England
    Both legs of the Hilarity100 kicked off
    in London, England
  5. GREEN MINI
    Bergen, Norway
    Where the van's headlights died, and we
    almost lost the spare tyre.
  6. GREEN MINI
    Voss, Norway
  7. GREEN MINI
    Trondheim, Norway
    A uni town. Unfortunately we were there during
    uni holidays, so it was kinda quiet.
  8. GREEN MINI
    Ostersund, Sweden
    Where more repairs were made to the van
  9. GREEN MINI
    Side of a motorway, Sweden
    Where the van finally died.
  11. GREEN MINI
    Stockholm, Sweden
    Where we recovered from the loss of the van,
    and hatched plans for Hilarity version 2.
  15. GREEN MINI
    Nieuwpoort, Belgium
    We spent a night in Nieuwpoort, drinking beer
    , eating unidentified meat kebabs,
    and watching Matt and Si's tent get rained on.
  16. GREEN MINI
    Brugge, Belgium
    Where we spent a night and found a cool beer garden.
    We also split into Teams Bike and Car at this point.
  2. BLUE MINI
    Antwerp, Belgium
    We accidentally walked through the fortified diamond
    district after dusk, and found several cool bars.
  3. BLUE MINI
    Amsterdam, Netherlands
    It rained on us, our tent, and our stuff.
    Thus it wasn't terribly exciting.
  4. BLUE MINI
    Arnhem, Netherlands
    The Netherlands redeemed itself with an amazing campsite
    and adjacent forest. The campsite was also signposted
    from every possible direction, so points for that.
  6. BLUE MINI
    Gottingen, Germany
    If we'd been a day later, we'd have caught
    the light festival in this student town.
  7. BLUE MINI
    Magdeburg, Germany
    So incredibly quiet. On the plus side,
    it was home to the Max Planck Institute.
  8. BLUE MINI
    Berlin, Germany
    Sweet, sweet Berlin. We stayed five nights,
    we could have stayed fifty.
    Highly recommended: Brewer's Walking Tours

    Where Matt slept in and Si found the first

    Prague, Czech Republic
    Sure it's touristy, but even so we lived
    like kings for relatively little.

    Munich, Germany
    Beer halls. Great weather. There's not much
    more you could ask for.
  14. GREEN MINI
    Krems, Austria
    Everybody met up again for the Day 50 Celebrations.

    Pilsen, Czech Republic
    We bowed (and then jumped) before the gates of the
    brewery that brought us Pilsner beers.
  16. BLUE MINI
    Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic
    Enchantingly old little town set along
    the steep banks of a meandering river.

  3. GREEN MINI
    Koln, Germany
    Tip: it's said 'cologne'.

    at the Deutsches Eck.
  6. RED MINI

    Seligenstadt (technically Grosswelzheim), Germany
    The Tourist Information in Seligenstadt
    cannot be trusted.
  9. RED MINI
    Grossheubach, Germany
    At 23 Euros, the most expensive camping we've encountered.
  10. RED MINI

    Left the Main to follow the Tauber River.
  11. RED MINI
    Bad Mergentheim, Germany
    Happiness is a free washing machine and dryer.
  12. RED MINI
    Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
    So. Many. Tourists.
  13. RED MINI
    Dinkelsbuehl, Germany
    A piece of cake that's too big for the plate.
    That's my kind of bakery.
  14. RED MINI
    Donauwoerth, Germany
    Finally we made it to the Danube (Donau) River!
  15. RED MINI
    Neuburg an der Donau, Germany
    Vietnamese food, Croatian liquor and German biologists.
  16. RED MINI
    Neustadt an der Donau, Germany
    If only all restaurants had old blokes
    sitting in the corner shouting everyone drinks.

    Regensburg, Germany
    We went to church! Even if it was only
    to see and hear the Domspatzen Choir.
  18. RED MINI
    Straubing, Germany
    The tent may have been a better option
    rather than the Kanu Club dorm...

  20. RED MINI
    Irring (8km out of Passau), Germany
    A planned 38km ride
    + A missing ferry captain
    + A 25km detour
    + A 12km downhill run on a highway
    + No accommodation in Passau
    = One spectacular meal in a little next to the campsite.
  21. RED MINI
    Inzell, Austria
    Kittens and expensive camping gear don't mix
  22. RED MINI
    Ottensheim, Austria

    Grein, Austria
    Special price if you're stupid to be camping in a tent

    Tulln, Austria
    Thankfully the gale-force winds were
    blowing in the right direction.
  26. RED MINI
  1. GREEN MINI
    Vienna, Austria
    Three days in Vienna and somehow we avoided having a
    Wiener Schnitzel. Sheer madness.
  2. GREEN MINI
    Bled, Slovenia
    Beautiful scenery, beautiful people, great
    hostel. Definitely returning.
  3. GREEN MINI
    Bologna, Italy
    A brief overnight stop at a real, actual hotel
    (albeit a budget one). Everyone passes out with excitement
    at prospect of fluffy towels.
  4. GREEN MINI
    Rome, Italy
    Everyone passes out again on discovering that
    our apartment in Rome is both huge, involves marble
    and has a balcony overlooking a typically
    chaotic/mesmerising road intersection.
  5. GREEN MINI
    Florence, Italy
    Really quite beautiful. The view from Piazza Michaelangelo
    at sunset would win anyone over.
  6. GREEN MINI
    Levanto, Italy
    Everybody's camping under olive trees
    and ready to walk the Cinque Terra.
    We're also ready for olive fights.
  7. GREEN MINI
    Antibes, France
    Somewhere between Nice and Cannes,
