Summer in instalments (PART 1)


After a short break I'm tuning back in to report of our great musical odessy. Well, I've done trips like this before, even a more extensive one, but this one is fresh in my mind and I've got a lot to say about it. Because people have complained that my posts are too long I'll do this in shorter posts each concerning a different aspect of our trip and I'l like to begin with just some basic info about it.

Reason for the trip: Bilbao BBK Live festival

Line-up: Faith No More, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Gogol Bordelo, Skunk Anansie, Dropkick Murphys, Slayer, Rammstein and many more.

Passengers: Maja, Grega, Ana, Špela

People who also joined us: Simon, Katja, Nataša, Matjaž and many others who only now understand that Slovenia is a European country and is not the same as Croatia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia, Belorussia, Yugoslavia or the Soviet Union.
