Tällasena pimeänä syysiltana on kiva muistella kesän lämpimiä päiviä;)
On a cold winter evening like this evening, it's nice to look back at the warm summer days... :)
Heinäkuun viimesenä lauantaina koitti päivä jota me ja n. 60 000 muutakin oli odottanut suht pitkään, eli TOMORROWLAND! lähettiin aamusesta ajelemaan kohti Antwerpeniä, ja matkalla alko sopivasti satamaan ihan kaatamalla. Ikinä en oo nähny että satais niin kovaa.. Ei siinä mitään, kamat hotellille ja sadetakkikaupan kautta bussilla kohti Boomia, eli festaripaikkaa. Petyin vähän kun sain kuulla että toi kylän nimi Boom tarkottaakin ihan vaan puuta :/
The last Saturday of July was the day that us and around 60 000 others had waited for a long time.. TOMORROWLAND! We left in the morning to Antwerpen and of course it started raining like crazy. I've never seen a rain that heavy.. Well, what can you do, we left our stuff at the hotel, bought raincoats and took a bus to Boom, where the festival was held. I was pretty disappointed when I heard that the name of the town, Boom, only means "a tree" :/

Saavuttiin ajoissa hoodeille ja sadekin sopivasti loppu matkalla. Oltiin niin innoissamme! Päästiin sisälle alueelle ja ensin käytiin ostamassa lipukkeita eli festarirahaa. 10€:lla sai 7 lipuketta, esim. bisse makso 2lippua, ruuat 3-7 lippua, eli ei ollu hinnoilla pilattu noita festareita. Muutenkin kaikki pelas. Vaikka siellä oli tosiaan se 60 000 kävijää per päivä, oikeestaan minnekään ei tarvinu jonottaa. Vessoissa oli juokseva vesi ja suomalaisille tutuista bajamajoista ei ollu tietoakaan. Kaiken kukkuraksi vielä kun tulit vessasta, sait käydä "fresh pointissa" jossa nostit vaan kätes ylös niin sulle suihkutettiin dödöä suoraan kainaloihin.:D
We arrived to the festival area nicely on time and the rain stopped on the way too. We were so excited!! We got in and the first thing we did was that we bought tokens. With 10€ you got 7 tokens and for example a beer was 2 tokens and food was 3-7 tokens. So actually the prices were not that bad. Everything else at the festival was working perfectly. Even though there were around 60 000 visitors a day we didn't have to queue basically anywhere. The toilets had running water (that never happens at Finnish festivals). The cherry on the top was that when you left the toilet you walked by a "fresh point" where there were people putting deodorant and hair spray on you :D
Kuvat varmaankin kertoo enemmän.. Lavoja oli monta ja kaikki uskomattoman upeita ja esiintyjistä puhumattakaan! Meidän festarikokemus oli erittäin hyvä. Ainut mikä vähän latisti tunnelmaa oli yöllä alkanut rankkasade mutta festarijärjestäjät ei vissiin siihen oikeen voi vaikuttaa :P
I bet that the pictures tell more than my writings.. So many stages, and they all looked awesome, not even going to talk about the artists haha. Our festival experience was pretty perfect. The only thing that made us feel a bit down was the heavy rain that started in the middle of the night but I think that the staff didn't have anything to do with it :P
