Reasons to be scared

Here are some reasons why, with less than 3 hours to go, I am suddenly scared of this holiday.

1. I am now, in all likelihood, the sole driver as SOMEBODY left their driver's licence in the UK, and only just realised it yesterday. Doh!

2. I think I may have forgotten how to drive over the last 2 years, and have certainly never driven on the other side of the road... roundabouts seem particularly tricky.

3. There are currently huge electrical storms everywhere we are going - Czech Republic, Austria, Berchtesgaden in Germany, Slovenia - you name it, lightning will strike it. Last night's spectacular Prague storm lasted over 2 hours and kept us awake, so I'm not feeling too refreshed this morning. Still, at least we can turn our car into a stormchasing wagon... Check out www.blitzortung.de for up-to-date storm info, and feel scared for us in our little metallic home!

I want my mum...

  1. I'm reading! Wishing you loads of luck! Is there no way of getting Anthony's driving licence to meet you at some point en route?! Take care, Helen

  2. Nothing to be scared of! You're a great driver and you have a great navigator(Anthony, not the Satnav) Take your time, breathe, release the tension in your belly, jaw and forehead. Relax and enjoy - it's going to be a great adventure!
