The first thing I observe about Calais is that it is raining hard.
The second thing I notice is the miserable looking refugee camps that stretch for miles along the shore, surrounded by barbed wire fences…
I want to hitch a ride on a private jet. Somewhere out there, one of you has a friend with a plane. I want to make this happen, and I know we can do it. I want to hitchhike the sky!..
Hearty breakfast of beer and haggis at The Beer Kitchen, then it’s finally time.
I give the guys a hug, jump on me scooter and roll south… slightly wobbly but feeling good…
‘You’re a hitchhiker’ they tell me. ‘We’ve read your blog and you seem to enjoy doing odd things. How would you like to be our hitchhiking delivery guy..?
A scooter is an awesome bit of gear for backpacking. It’s an amazing compromise between the light-weight convenience of a skateboard and the safety and utility of a bike…
Tie me kangaroo down sport… Tie me kangaroo down… Tie me kangaroo down sport… Tie me kangaroo down…
Gets me thinking about why I do this silly stuff that I do.

According to Bill Tijuana is more fun than Vegas. But we’re going to Vegas anyway because we like Bon Jovi…
I met Bill in Morocco when I was hitchhiking to the Sahara. Now he’s decided we’re going on a road trip to Vegas together…
I loved the idea that exploring the universe didn’t have to be the preserve of heroic characters like Flash Gordon and Luke Skywalker. Any ordinary schmuck could grab a bag and a towel, and thumb a ride to Alpha Centauri or The Restaurant at the End of the Universe…
I get dropped off on the edge of town and walk down the road a bit to find a good hitchhiking pitch. There’s a sheriff’s cruiser parked on the side of the road. There isn’t a whole lot of traffic. I wonder if this guy gets bored sitting on the side of this lonely road all day…
