vuurvogel Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Except you trying to crash the bus by flashing the driver (with your camera), I do not remember much about this ride. So I am curious about the photo's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I didn't make it as far as Elissa up the pole but I think only one other TPR participant made it further than me. Awaiting the bus photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansrubens Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Still the same day only a few hours later..... I really don't know how to start this story..... Well we had a 4 hour long bus drive ahead when we left the Wurzburg fair. Most of the participants were a bit tipsy (like me) and obviously very tired. When everyone had found a place to rest and/or sleep I thought it was nice to document all the nice Americans on the bus. So I went through the bus and asked everyone if they were American and if they were Nice. If both questions got a yes I took a picture. Of course I did another lap to document all the nice non-American people too. I'll post the pictures and start with the Nice Americans first then a little interaction between Steve and Eric and then continue with the Nice non-American section. I hope I remember who is and who is not American. I hope I did not caused any inconvenience and that I didn't annoyed anyone. That was not my intention. The pictures turned out to be... well... see it yourself. Bus full of people looming ahead. Starting with the Nice Americans. I got confused by that Canadian shirt. It was nice that everyone cooperated. I guess that is a no. Ahh cute. What happend to my cookie Larry? Sorry Jordan. This is the only picture I have!!! and this is about the front of the bus. Let's see if I can find some more nice Americans. Say that's a nice hat. errr American I mean! I think I ran out of Nice American pictures. So now it's time for the many stages of Steve and Eric! I still don't know whether Eric is pretending or not. You have to smile Eric. That's much better. Don't push it Steve. Yikes. Going to start the Nice non-American section which is much shorter! No this is not just a random car... It's Hanno!! Why so surprised Robin? Fancy people! Steve, how was your quality time with Eric? The other Steve. I'm pretty sure Hawai is not a part of the US. Really is Hawai not a part of the US hmmm.... She is shy. Thanks for the mohawk! Fellow Dutchman. and another one. Canada rules!! Also a bit tipsy Piers? And last but not least our belgian bus driver!! Arrival at Phantasialand at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinschroder Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ah - tremendous! A triumph! This surely has to make the front page!! How wonderful for these infamous pictures to be posted on TPR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piers Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 This is amazing, I love how hammered I look, and my hair! And you got a picture of Guillieme which makes me very happy! Although, I seem to not recognise about 50% of the people on the bus, maybe I was more drunk than I though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I think you and Erik were a little more tipsy than many of us. Your rationalization whether Hawaiian Mike was American or not was great. The last picture in the nice American section is actually a Finn. Can't believe my picture is not the worst in the bunch. I do not anything about your cookie. I didn't eat it either, I would remember if I did. Awesome job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansrubens Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 ^ Dang I already thought I would make a mistake! If you didn't ate my cookie then who did? Actually I totally forgot about that cookie till I went through my pictures after the trip. ---Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 What great memories of a great bus ride! I was really concerned that it was going to be a hellish and annoying bus ride, but I was wrong. It was really fun and it was even more funny! What an amazing trip! Can't wait to see the rest of your photos. Here is a nice American's perspective of the bus ride. Are you nice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I was still moderately surprised when I went back to check on Erik and he was alive. Pretty sure he was dead for at least 3 or 4 minutes. Is it time for another TPR Trip yet?!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansrubens Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm surprised that only 1 picture of me is posted. There must be more participants that took a picture of me that night.
