No adventure? See this.
A six-car motorcade dashing around Great Yarmouth town centre through RED traffic lights should have been a spectacular scene to see. The locals and the tourists must have thought George W. Bush was touring the town. I was only the mere bodyguard leading the way, and whoever were in the middle two cars should be Mr Bush and Mr Brown. After a nice Chinese meal and without too much of alcohol, two front cars appeared out of the car park in the WRONG carriageway, with a double decker bus coming head-on and a police car watching just a few yards away. The two cars had to quickly reverse a few tens of yards in order to get into the right carriageway right under the eyes of the police! And then they had to circle around the town centre again so that they can beat the one-way system to get on the bridge to leave the town.
Phew ...

To ease the reading, I have added this background note.
WQ's post "No adventure?" is a response to my remarks below, originally made in an email.
"The second camping operation of the Wangs & Co in 2007 turned out to be no adventure at all: no rain, no storm, no freezing nights, too much sunshine, too easy walks, too good site facilities. Apart from a few mildly interesting episodes such as a flat airbed at 3am and an impressive demonstration of a 5-points turn on a busy road, there were no big surprises and certainly no display of revolutionary heroism that many people had longed for. How disappointing!"
