Day 36 Burglengenfeld

Grey and rainy. The usual for breakfast, coffee and sandwich. Slightly below average, I’d say. Practicing the (you guessed it!) Bach Cello Suites. That’s probably the only thing I will practice in the foreseeable future.  Penne Bolognese for dinner. Very…

Day 35 Budapest

Return of the border control. This time at 3:00 in the morning. I was juuuust about to fall asleep.  Breakfast was a sandwich and coffee. Coffee was a 2 out of 5.  Today was a difficult day for me. I…

Day 34 Banja Luka

The dreaded border control was at 7:30 in the morning, so that was ok.  No wifi and the ”regular” net costs a fortune to use AND is limited, so no internet today.  Sandwich and coffee for breakfast at a nearby…

Day 33 Zagreb

Had a sandwich and some coffee for breakfast. The coffee was good. Signed some records for our merch guy to sell at his table. Still working on the Cello Suites and making progress, I’m happy to say.  Short soundcheck with…

Day 32 Belgrade

Slept for 10 hours, a short wake-up for border control, slept another 4 hours.  Pre-made sandwiches and coffee for breakfast. Not bad.  Did an email interview today, for the biggest metal portal in the region. Was nice to do for…

Couldn’t sleep. Think I fell asleep at 6:00 in the morning. Woke up at 14:00. Felt a bit dizzy, thought I’d take a short walk, get some air and buy some socks.  Took a shower. Walked back to the bus…

Day 30 Athens

Due to the weather we couldn’t leave Thessaloniki on time, so we stayed parked until morning. All night the wind and rain were beating down on the bus. Tree-branches kept hitting the roof of the bus and it was rocking…

Day 29 Thessaloniki

Rainy, grey and cold today. Sat in the dressingroom all day. Got some practicing done. Read for a bit. Had some coffee, which was ok – no more, no less.  Dinner was good, chicken, beef and fried potatoes. Some more…

Day 28 Sofia

Damn, that had to be the worst road in Europe. Feels like I didn’t sleep at all. Every bump in the road woke me up, it felt like. Ham and cheese baguette for breakfast. And good coffee.  Managed to get…

Day 27 Bucharest

Couldn’t sleep, most likely because I spent so much time in bed yesterday. Finally washed my stage-pants. Good coffee in the venue. Worked on the Bach Cello Suites. Changed strings. Continued with the Cello Suites.  Dinner was dry chicken and…
