Sunny spring to you, dear friends!

Now our tour is over and we've got a couple of days of recharging before Indica's wild trip to Kosovo, amidst the peacekeepers! I just read our info mail about the trip, and it made me happy to read that we'll be spending the five days in army clothes... there's also going to be some shooting and all kind of army-stuff in the program!! We've heard from many fellow bands that the trip is one of the best, so we're still enthusiastically looking forward to it, even if it's with some horror-mixed feelings.

About Europe. Well it was really great, we wouldn't have wanted to end the tour and the gigs and leave all those charming people, who we were traveling with. The month's cohabitation with the Pain orchestra went like, to quote from our past blog, a galloping moose. :) Charming guys all, and even those rumours about good drinking skills were not at all embellished ie. they could well challenge the Finns, which is of course an achievement in itself!

Top 10 wildest things in Europe:

1. Charming as always Nightwish, and all the rest of the crew <3
2. Cohabitation with Pain
3. The world's best catering foods
4. Preparing of instant pastas and toasts in our tour bus' "luxury kitchen".. especially when the bus is moving!
5. Rock Sörözö (a great bar in Debrecen) - Indica, NW and Pain folks recommended!
6. Friends (which we watched ever day during the tour)
7. Barceloooona! (which we didn't yet get to, on this tour...)
8. Finland and Sweden weeks in the tour bus. (Even if the Finland week didn't quite go as planned, because the Pain folks' communication was mostly limited to some swear words. We Indicans of course were quite exemplary!)
9. Hurriganes and Amy Macdonald!!!
10. What did I say, it was just water.

Now just jaw to the chest and towards new disappointments!

Take care of yourselves and others :)
