Sue... you prepared this entry private or edited the date, don´t you? It got lost on our friends´pages, I found it by accident viewing just people´s journals without comms.

That was a fascinating review. Naked bathing men and a free noise show... were a nice topping. though naked bathing really has some advantages. The story of the couple made me laugh, the energy drink offer was hilarious! I´m sorry for the camera man and you feeling so sick after the festival. Can´t wait to hear more from your trip.

Do I spy there a McDonald´s in front of your hotel? Ooh, I´m so hungry... Or a sandwich ^.^

yeah, I did edit the date because it took me a couple of days to get this all together. I thought that would make it show up on the date I changed it to, I just thought no one commented cause they were tired of these finland trip entries so I didn't bother with the rest. thanks for letting me know!

the only reason I was so sick is because I stupidly didn't take proper care of myself. I didn't eat or drink and walked for close to 20 hours. now I know better!

I saw a "festival survival pack" in a shop recently. I guess that would be something for you. Water, dextrose, chewing gum, refreshing tissues, one of those camping cushions to sit on, earplugs, maybe some dry cookies, and I usually add painkillers and medicine for circulatory problems to that, just in case.

Yay, it's always great to read from you. That pic of the taxi stand makes me laugh. But that's what it's always like on weekends after the last night buses have left.
Awesome pics of Poets!!! Marko (the singer) said he's put on weight, and I guess I can see where exactly ... -laughs-
The last chapter about the taxi driver made me smile. And yes, festivals are exhausting. That's why I only go to Ankkarock, or maybe Tuska if the lineup's good. I can go home and sleep in my own bed at night, and it only takes between 30 minutes and an hour to get back afterwards. Those festival days are already long enough, and having to spend all night trying to get home afterwards, that's not for me. I'm glad to hear you were having fun though. I can't wait to read more. =)

I didn't know the festival was situated on a beach, what a great atmosphere it must have been. But it sounds like you overdid it a bit, remember tourist rule no.1 - take water all the time!

Can't wait to read the next instalment.

Water! What kind of lousy rule is that - BEER you should take all the time (at least in Finland)

Oh Sue - I can't believe you lost a day and a half! Good thing this trip was longer than last.

I doubly wish I was there, for the obvious reasons and so I could take care of you!

Looking forward to the rest of your adventure!

The self-portrait is cool. So many Sues in the mirrors! You thought to jump? A bungee jump I mean, you were so close to the crane...
