Gloucester to Utrecht by road and sea

The Rehersal

Before departure I'd the honour of seeing the band rehearsing in their Gloucester studio. Sounded good!

The road to the coast

We drove out of Gloucester in the still of the night, and had the road to ourselves as we climbed the steep flanks of the Cotswolds just behind the town. From the hilltop the road ran steadily south east, we sped on through the darkness as faint sliver of the waning crescent moon hung high in the eastern sky, and the first hint of false dawn touched the distant horizon.

I wonder where that little door
(between the 'F' and the 'O') leads to?

Wheee!!!

I know they have a serious job to do,
but that looks like fun, too.

Now those are what I call ropes!

Aparently this dock was built
by giant mice from Switzerland

The world's brightest outfit?
He'd fit right in at a cyber gig!

It's that boat again, they're following us...

Everywhere we looked there were ships

There's one!

There's another one!
