Hilarity100

Teams B and C reunited in Krems, Austria to celebrate the half-way mark of the Hilarity's planned hundred-day duration.

Everybody involved had to make an effort - Matt and I drove from Munchen across Germany and Austria to be there, and Ness and Mot tackled Krems' well-labelled bike paths and put on freshly washed clothes.

Italian food was eaten. Grolsch, Stella and Matt's specially-bought Party Beer (Zywiec) were consumed. Pretzels were dipped in a jar of nutella-esque spread. Then we went to bed as the threatening clouds on the horizon started to shower rain on the celebrations.

While we slept the showers escalated into a strong weather warning, with a fair coating of rain and winds strong enough to collapse the tent belonging to Matt and I. This was particularly inconvenient for Matt, who was asleep in the tent at the time.

The storm cleared long enough for Mot and Ness to head off on their bikes for Vienna (eta: Monday) and Matt and I to pack up our soggy excuse for a tent, shake our fists at the sky, and set off in the car for the first leg of our Bohemian Beer adventure: Plzen, in the Czech Republic.

Here's to another hilarious fifty days!
