We packed our bags, sun factor 20, bathing suits and of course our amps, guitars and our not inflatable drum kit and other gear. So we were ready to go and ready to rock.

We went away at 5am, sadly enough we couldn't reach Rik because of his disfuntional telephone network, so thanks guys, but as with every story this one has a happy ending. Manon picked up Rik with Henk and Ingrid while in the meantime Martin with Karin and Margriet hit the road. We went in two cars going to pick up our Rebelvan [tourbus] in Germany - why aren't they available in Holland anyway??

Of course there wasn't a slight misunderstanding so therefore Martin, Karin and Margriet were almost in Saarbrücken instead of Koblenz, but at least we had a lot of fun sightseeing, so it just ended up as a three hour sightseeing tour and then we finally were at Dierdorf. 


Having been slightly delayed, quickly we removed everything from the two cars into the Rebelvan and now we were finally ready to go and nearby Saarbrücken again, this was a city that would haunt us to the end of our days. We drove all day to Perpignan and we were glad when we eventually arrived at our Etap hotel. We slept like angels, which was hard to tell if you'd seen us the next morning with puffy eyes, messy hair and bad breath. After putting on our small, well-organised beauty cases after the boys had put on their masculine sports bags we were ready to go to sunny Spain
After driving through the following schedule, the weather from Holland was hunting us, so from the 53 days that they expect rain in Spain, we happened to pick three of them. and that started on:

08-04 - Friday - Stereo club - Alicante
09-04 - Saturday - Sala Gamma - Murcia
10-04 - Sunday -  Xtreme -Aretoa
