We arrived at Stockholm at Sunday evening and then the long drive to Berlin. Teemu was rather tired because he has no memories between Stockholm and Berlin, and we even had a ferry between Denmark and Germany.

Good gig, at last stage big enough for all of us. We had a surprisingly many fans, at least many came to congratulate us after the gig. Our fee was 0e, but we sold the most merchandise of all bands. So a few euros came from there.
Shower at the hotel was great, after the local taxi Michael Shumacher drove us there.

Cart was lost here but shit happens. After the gig some sparks in the air but we put the blame on Johannes.
Thanks to fans, organizers and Annamária

Ok gig. Local beauty was again really appreciated. Again after the gig some sparks in the air but we put the blame again on Johannes.
We were either at Simpsiö Lapua or Alps, the language and height of the hills told us that we were at Australian Alps. Jussi bought some booze for birthday party.
It almost felt like home seeing how local people drank.

Long drive through Germany, a ferry again, some booze bought. We were stopped at Denmark/Sweden border but after hearing that we're from Finland and going home  they let us go. Quote from Customs official: "Fix that window, local police can be real anal".

Our bitch...driver Johannes drove straight 72 hours to Stockholm, but we still were late... OK, really the right ferry was leaving next morning
so that was ok, except again really cold night at bus. Sauna and shower at Amorelle were again great.
At Turku harbour, some sparks again but , again, you guessed it, our driver Johannes was to blame.
