One or just a half       6/10/2013 - 7/10/2013

Ahh...the lounge party had continued after me going to bed and I got four hours sleep but I don't have any regrets spending the last hours with the best guys ever :) Very sleepy pack of beasts lagging to the Düsseldorf's airport...this is killing me - I almost fall asleep while standing :D Finally we get to the plane and I instantly fall asleep when I sit down. next I know I wake up to the announcement of landing to Helsinki.

I spend my time in a different city with special company until I have to go back to Helsinki. In the evening I meet my friends and have one relaxing dose of wine and conversation.
Oh how great it feels to warm up the sauna and have a long shower, cup of cappuccino and a warm blanket..mmmm....

The next day I'm in a horry from the moment I wake up. Have to pack again and go to post office and other stuff. Just five minutes before the train is leaving I arrive at the station. Here we go again...

The guys pick me up nearby the railway station and we head up to the Viking line- harbor. The reunion   of Battle beast has begun! We joke about how lovely it is to see again for so long time (after 17h) :) Getting the van in the ship, luggage to the cabins and eating are the first things in mind and in action. And of course buying cheap beer :P Oh the buffet is something we need right a way - tables filled with dozens of options what to eat. Juuso and Anton had gone eating earlier so we give the pleasure to our manager and sound man to enjoy our young and beautiful company :D

After dining I keep company to Kari(manager) and Kimmo(sound man) at the bar until I must say good night and find the other band members. Gladly I didn't have to do anything else but walk into my cabin and there my dear boys are. I'm feeling still a bit sick so I have to skip the great opportunity to party with the beasts and go sleep. The nap I had before the dinner wasn't such good idea - realizing I can't fall asleep at all now . Rolling in the bed until Anton comes in and we have a nice conversation about various things.

After two hours not getting sleep I have a compelling need to smoke and on the way I bump into Eero and Janne sitting on the stairs at the lobby kind of area. They tell me about the things that's happened while me being at my cabin...now I feel bad for going to 'sleep' but in the other hand I wouldn't had that  talk with Anton which felt important. Having the honor to talk with Eero privately at the deck was the crown for this night. I love you guys more and more everyday!

The concept of sleeping wasn't on the list for me this night - me coughing, Eero snoaring and Janne or Anton mumbling in their sleep, I don't have to explain any longer - don't I.

Aaand shutdown....
