Alas, a roadtrip is not complete without good food. 13 of us ate like a family because we prepared and cooked the meals ourselves every night. We prepared BBQs, pasta bakes, hamburgers, pancakes, birthday cakes, salads and fruits. It is such fun sitting around the kitchen laughing and gossiping whilst peeling carrots and cutting up potatoes.

As well as that, we also drank plenty. We had the bar very central to the house, and my boyfriend is very nifty with his drinks. He managed to make up a very yummy(?) shot called "Brain Haemorrhage" and yes, it looks like a brain. You can find the recipe here  but basically you use Grenadine syrup to "curdle" the Baileys in the shot. I think this drink set me over the edge for the night, because milk curdling in you mouth is not always a pleasant feeling....
