Los Blogos Numero UNO

HELLO KIDS!

Now it has been 6 days since we arrived to Europe (some of the craziest days of our lives).

We landed in Berlin on the 30th of October after a really sweaty flight where we played Ludo and other very up-to-date board games.
Then we took some cabs to Wera and Ron´s (they are awesome human beings) apartment where we stayed for the next 3 nights.

For the first 2 nights we partied like there was no tomorrow and ate a whole year's supply of Kebab.

Our first show was on the 2nd in a place called Bang Bang Club.
Had a lot of fun playing there and it was a great start for the tour.

The day after we drove from Berlin to Trier. The latter one is one of the smaller cities (even though it's got 1/3 the population of whole Iceland).
We played a show along with a German band called Anything But Yours and a French one called Montreal On Fire.
For the night we stayed at a place which we think was a school of some sort. At least when we walked down the hallway to take a shower the day after (wearing only a towel) we met some kids wearing school bags. They were quite shocked to see us, but hey, who wouldn't be startled when coming to a school in the morning and meeting some crazy half-naked people in the hallway.

On the 4th we drove to Wiesbaden where we stayed at our booking agent's (Manus) apartment.
We decided that only eating kebab and drinking beer wasn't the healthiest thing to do for the whole tour so we bought some food from the supermarket.
We cooked some food which turned out to be the worst dish ever to have been made by a human being since the dawn of Earth.
But we ate it anyway.

To celebrate that we didn't die after the dinner we went downtown and drank cocktails at the Sahara Cocktail Bar. They had these extremely cool bellydancers videos and South-American techno pop. The waitors were very friendly and insisted that the girls got some earrings for free.

We went to sleep, 8 people together, in a room which was about 5 m2.
A couple of minutes later we had to wake up to drive to Spain.
Yes that's right, drive from Germany through France to Spain.
That awesome trip took us 17 hours and we arrived safe and sound in Bilbao right before midnight.
Fortunetaly everybody still knew how to walk so we took all our stuff out of the car and put it in Manus´s friends (Arthurs) apartment, where we stayed for the night.

Earlier today we ate some kebab (we now admit our addiction, and are proud of it) for brunch and are now watching Anchorman in the car on the way to Madrid. From now on there will be gigs almost every day until we finish the tour. EXTREMELY EXCITING!

I'm Ron Burgundy. Stay classy San Diego.



Hey there guys!
