I really like doing them, but they rarely happen in my life. Oh I don't even drive, I just enjoy riding along listening to music or talking. Just floating along with landscapes, soundscapes, and emotions. anyway. what nice stories you have to share on the subject? what's your favourite roadtrip? |

I LOVE going on roadtrips... usually to the towns in the mountains or Edmonton... one time even Vancouver.. |

last friday night when i was driving the 3 hour journey back from london my friend wendy was drifting off to sleep - she woke up with a shot and said "shit man, i'll have to stay awake for you". 3 minutes later she was asleep - bearing in mind we were still in london. she woke up just as we were coming to her road and she was like "fuuuuuuuuuck. what's going on?" that was pretty funny! also the week before that, we went out on a roatrip from reykjavik in iceland to some breathtaking waterfalls, driving through the mountains, past glaciers and steam coming out the ground and passing through tiny towns was so different to in england. that was a damn cool day. |

Okay.. why not. When I went to Vancouver with my boyfriend.. after a 16 hour drive (including stops) we went to the Safeway there... to use the washroom real quick.. and there was these huge bullfrogs in this tank , all piled on top of each other, some dead from being suffercated.. and they were selling them for people to eat.. but they were all dieing and suffering... there were soo many strange creates in the seafood section of that Safeway. I wanted to smack the owners. |

my parents came to visit me up in scotland a couple of weekends ago. we hired a car and drove in to the highlands. saw some amazing scenery, didnt expect anything like that in the uk at all. found a couple of real nice spots with clear streams and waterfalls and mountains, great weekend. |

heh.xz =( well... I thought you, who've been on so many roadtrips would have some fun stories to share? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think id like them more, if i didnt have a destination in mind roadtrips for me, are always getting to a destination, which will suck. Like having to move, or visiting relatives. Its never anything fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That was a good story... Okay well to be honest, most of the road trips i've been on were drug related. So um... hm.. a good story.. let me think. What you didn't like the bullfrog story? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah. that sounds lovely. I like spending time with my folks. I like just being around them, and we don't talk, or just do smalltalking. we enjoy the silence, but most of all the presence. And then we can discuss great topics... but we rarely do roadtrips, it was more a thing we used to do when I was younger (lived at home). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the frogs were suffering and dying / suffocated. the thing seems kinda surreal to me, but sure was reality... well, you don't want to tell any drugrelated story? I'm sure it will be interesting reading. |

I did a roadtrip with my girlfriend 2 years ago, from madrid to all the south coast of spain (andalucia) it was great, even though we were stolen all our clothes, but at the end we will remember that trip for all our lifes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But see that's the thing, it probably wouldn't cause we were on drugs and the simplest things were amazing.. so when I think about it now being sober.. it's not that great. mauhaha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"so when I think about it now being sober.. it's not that great." i get that alot... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, I opened myself up for a zinger there... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha yea... but the memories are still great... but I doubt i'd wanna do the same things now cause it wouldn't be the same being sober. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah... a memory for life - lovely! :) and I'm sure eventhough you have good taste, you and your girlfriend had no need for clothes for what you were up to anyway ;) I wish I could be naked more ofthen. feels kinda free + good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
youre sober now? we gotta fix that, babe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't mind doing things sober/free from drugs. I can get caught up in all of thoose beautiful moments, and feel great - it's such a greet feeling cause your mind is free and you still feel these real strong emotions... I can just ride along with time and space, and do that quite ofthen. feels great. comfortable, relaxing. groove. |

"ah... a memory for life" well, arnt all memories for life? cause if not, then they arnt a "memory" now are they? ;) |

I had a funny road trip to Cornwall one summer. Three of us drove down (from Suffolk, nr London) in this fucked Ford camper van kinda thing. It cost my mate £50 so you can probably guess it was pretty "special". In a reasonably quick car you can do it in 4-5 hrs, it took us 13!! I was fine as I was chillin in the back getting stoned, my mate who was driving wasnt so happy though. Had a real good few days down there driving around. Went to Porthtowan, where i later found out the photos for Surfing on Sine Waves were taken. We had a spliff or 3 in the cave where i think the front cover picture was taken. Good times. |

well, what I consider a "memory for life" is a tangible memory, a memory that's there with you all the time... Like I can remember some things from when I was real young, like 5-6 years old, but only when something happends that makes me think of that. A memory for life is so tangible, it sortof appears ofthen, maybe at that very season (which comes every year of course), so through time: it becomes a part of you. a memory for life. |

"But how is it being a tourist in your own country? I mean even being robbed - that's kindof a tourist thing ;)" __________________________________ so very true. well, I am from madrid, if I go to another place to know it, on vacation... I can be considered a tourist. tourism is not restricted to foreign countries I guess. as for being robbed: well in the south of spain its easy if you are not careful enough... and we werent that time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I wasn't so clear, but what I meant was like Spain, especially the part where you went, get lots of foreign tourists... I have done a lot of traveling in Sweden. There is lots to see if one just opens ones eyes, or eyeses. |

back to roadtrips: went to italy for a month in 1996 we had a house rented in rome for the month but we travelled all around italy during that month by train... it was a great trip (rome, firenze, venice, napoli, capri, sienna...) |

I enjoy walking to.. long distances... you can do that with music to. but the difference (comparing to roadtrips) is that you're laidback on roadtrips (I am never the driver). you just sit back and enjoy the ride. things can be really beautiful on roadtrips, and they can be done just for the ride sometimes. Most trips are good for some things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds like a great trip! Trains are great. The pro with car is that you can play music, and trains aren't that loud. But trains are more social, and you can see the country from another view... and nobody needs to drive, so drugs n alcohol can be all in your blood - if that's what you feel like. |

I remember me and 2 friends went to Göteborg (Gothenburg) for a rave, and we took the train from Skövde (I think it's a 2-hour trip)... we did some drinking on the train, and ate some snacks and fruit. and it was quite nice. though it was kinda scary, cause this was a private rave (they wanted to keep the police out) and on the train I remember that I was not sure what date the rave was, so I was really unsure of if we had missed it or not! Luckily we hadn't, and it was quite a nice rave... I passed out in the bar and some very nice attrictive girl woke me up, and together with that music I felt like I was in heaven for a brief moment. |
||||||||
|

a weird type of heaven... and weird people were there aswell. |
