Our man in the van: We’ll do anything but use the toilet

Now we’re into our second week in the van, I’m ready to pitch my theory on resistance to cabin fever: the duration for which you’ll happily sleep in a van is inversely proportional to the number of people staying in it.

Hardly a groundbreaking hypothesis, I know, but it has been much more comfortable in the van since half our party said au revoir the morning after the Sweden game.

Things had started to get cosy. Ours is — according to the rental company — a maximum three person van, with a double bed in the back and a small single bed which is folded out from a tiny table and seat behind the driver’s chair.
