Is it just me or do those black hoodies look to be absolutely minging and filthy! They were bad in Athens but by the time they hit the ferry to England I think they could have walked on their own!

Travelling in a state of being "laundry challenged" is pretty much par for the course in a high speed European Jaunt. But to put things into perspective, if the state of the black hoodies was alarming, imagine what the white ones probably resembled.

I wouldn't want to have been on that bus trip with 23 kids who had no no clean clothes for a week!

I am actually curious as to what kind of music that little jaunt would inspire.

Just look at the faces in every picture! I also remember the positive attitude to this trip what Mini Ben showed in his speech in the concert. The trip became like a cool adventure at some point!

Ben is charming like that. He's very friendly and very upbeat. He could inform you that you were scheduled for a root canal without anesthetic in a way that would make you actually look forward to the procedure. If he ran in an election, he'd probably win it.

I was thinking that I could use the Libera sound equipment. I could then possibly give RP a few tips on writing and composing music + work on Steven's clarinet technique. All before breakfast.

Haha... Yorkie, I'm sure that bus ride would be a blast for you. Not sure about RP and the kids, though.

Are you saying you travelled like that in Europe, Joel? Haha... You do know you didn't have the volcanic ashes to lay blame to? Lucky for you, you didn't sit with Yorkie on a bus. He'd start singing Libera songs w/ prerecorded harmonies (also by himself).

Yep, me too. Probably "Lead, Kindly Light II" with slow start (to mark the grim circumstance that took them to Athens) and then upbeat end (to mark the adventure that they made of it).

This just proves that kids don't worry about missing a few days of school that much.

There were some reports about Ben forgetting his speech. I don't think he really forgot. I think it's a case of momentarily forgetting how he wanted to deliver his speech. This should be encouraged. I'd rather have an imperfect but spontaneous speech. It makes the atmosphere more lighthearted and makes for some cool ice breaker. If it were up to me, I'd put Ben on opening and closing speeches in concerts.

the picture are absolutely awesome! My favorite is the freddie/james one lol. and any group pictures were cool! I'm so used to not seeing Alfie smile so seeing him smile in majority of the pictures was pleasant....Sam didnt smile all that much though ....

Nah, did laundry mid-way the route as I had eleven days of sunshine followed followed by eight days of "cold, drippy, dim and wet". The problem was getting everything to dry out then stay dry.

The volcanic ash was actually a problem. If my flight had gotten delayed any longer than it did, I'd have been out of clothes...

And about Yorkie and the pre-recorded harmonies... If the bus stops for beer every few miles then "Sing forever" it is...

If anyone can ad-lib his way out of a forgotten speech, it is Ben. What he says sometimes ends up more interesting than what he has planned.

Well, you need to catch him in the right mood.
