In his own words, "Traveling through Europe with a friend, we go from being locked within a Scottish dungeon to the discovery that Van Gogh is alive and well, managing a hotel in Holland. From being serenaded by Placido Domingo one day, to an encumbered attempt to sneak into the newly liberated Czech Republic the next."
