Tour Bus Diaries pt. 3

It was nice to play again in Logo and see some familiar faces in the audience. Even tough it was again bit hard to get our equipment inside the venue ‘cause of road construction next to it. 

Yesterday we started 1200km long way to Budapest. We had private accommodation in Hamburg and it was great to have some sleep before this long trip. Niina from Finnbands joined to our crew too and started to organize our interview schedules and merchandise. She’s big help for us because of tight time table on venues. 

We traveled whole day through Germany and Czech watching sunny landscapes. Some necessary stops during the day but more or less driving. I think it was something over midnight when we decided to have a hotel room somewhere. First two were full but we found cheap and just perfect place to sleep for a while.

We get up from bed around 10:00am this morning. Fast shower and on the road again. “Trance Rantanen” (our driver got quite many nicknames already) started engine and our way to Hungary continued. Some breakfast after crossing the Slovakian border and Queen DVD on our PS3. So far seems that it’s great day ahead us. I think we’re now on near Hungary border and there’s under 200km to Budapest. Should I open a beer now?

Awwww, sunny Europe :) It was sunny today in Finland too, but, of course, Central Europe beats it. Luv your tour diaries, it is something fresh and a really good way to express you care for the people who like your music ... when u spend the time to write something in person for them :) Keep on the good job and enjoy the tour to the max.!!!
