France 2 UK

chapter 41 - France 2 UK

Dear Diary....
Now what I need... is to go to the Church and revel all my sins... mheeeee :)

After the hard work in France , Mum and Dad have decided to come back to UK in a very low motion and appreciating the views.

After they left the Pommes, they drove to a camping park) near by and they had a rest while looked at the web to see how the superficial world is going ;)
This camping park was nice and had a big lake PLUS they had internet code ... yuuupppyy !!! It was just outside of Pompadour in Camping "Les Etoiles",
Mum and Dad stayed for one night and in the morning ... off we go ;)

It was a long drive so they stopped later in the day in a very friendly French Village called "La Blank".
Of course they didn't miss the chance to make a tour around the village and get to have dinner in the garden wood bench hi hi hi ... was very fun (there was an old man who kept following mum and dad insisting to tell us a story about something they really couldn't understand... but EY... he had a very nice bunch of Cats around him :) blessssss !!

They found a small castle and they walked around then they went to sleep very early.

Next morning ..off we go again.. (always on the go.. e ne ?)


Soon they stopped in other French Village for a break and some food ..
This time, dad parked me in a place which had a sign say: "Place de heros" (place of the hero's)  and on the back of the sign, was a cemetery of solders from the second world war !!
I really didn't understand why Dad was laugh so much... was no fun at all !
But ey... Do we need to die for our country to be recognised as an hero ?
Questions !!

After a meal in a little pizza caffe, we got back to the road and drive till very late.
No way they could find a camping park !
Not because was very essential but mum and dad was in the road  driving for 2 days and they really wanted a shower but there was no camping park for many many miles... until finally , they found a very strange camping park.
This park even had cameras around but didn't have hot water of any conditions PLUS, looked like there were only residents. Sort of a long term camping park.
Mum and dad did try to found someone to book in but it was quite all around and didnt see no one around... cool, so we stayed for the night, and didnt find no one in the morning either..so that was a freebee night :) There was not much going on in that place just big pitches , but no electrics.. no hot shower.. no pay.
Thats it... sleep !

After a good sleep, we left because it was till a long way to drive...drive..drive..We made few more stops and got to the Ferry long before the departing time, so we still had time there for a little rest.

Luckily, when we got back to UK, there was a few very nice sunny days. That made it a bit easier to climates back with English weather :):)
and then...
Home Sweet home :o)

Do you think is all over ??

Transylvania Calling

Chapter 34 - Transylvania Calling Festival

Dear Diary...


After I have climbed 1800meters high, I finally arrived to the F**** Festival
 !!
Jesus Christ , Harry !! What tha F*** was that !??
Who tha wek remember to make a festival this high plus with no road conditions at all !?
You must be Joking...


The road up to the mountains were so bad that took me 5 hours to drive 90kilometres.
Thats crazy ! (I still wonder how the wek the lorries and trucks managed to get there)

When we arrived it was already night so we couldn't see nothing. Again ,Dad managed to park me at the beginning of the festival (just in case we want to run away from the shit where we are in)

I mean... first day in the festival was raining and mud was everywhere. Mum and Dad was thinking to leave the place next day (ARE THEY F*** NUTZ !?)

After I managed to make a heroin act for climb 1800metres in the mountains , they decide to go back ?? NEVER !

Thanks to friends Darren and Maria, they ended up staying till the end of the Festival.
I will explain this with mum and Dad words to be more clear...

* This Festival was the most disorganized festival ever

* some PROFESSIONAL TECHNICIAN manage to blow the Mixer and Amplifier of the sound system whilst making the connections. (first day the music was only on the chill out. They managed to get a new amplifier and mixer next day )

* Before the festival started, the whole thing looked like it was finished already. (all the dancefloor`s deco was blown away by the wind)

* No food ,lack of water ... They were not ready to start the festival and we were now on the second day.

Everyone was angry and many people was requested their money back and left.

With rain, cold and all this good vibes, things didnt get better until the 3 day, when the sun came out and some locals come around to sell their  cheese, bread and all the bits and pieces they have in storage in their home at 1800metters high.

They really managed to make a small fortune with the misery conditions of the Festival.

As you know, the trance music scene is very unique and positive, so they survived all the bad conditions and join forces to make the festival work.

GOOD WORK PEOPLE !
THE ORGANIZATION SHOULD BE KICKED OFF AND BANNED TO MAKE MORE SHIT FESTIVALS LIKE THIS.

or

IF WE ALL HAVE TO MAKE A FESTIVAL WORK, WHY NOT MAKE A FREE FESTIVAL WITH A HELP OF EVERYONE ?

No bars, no famous djs, no restaurants, no pre made line ups... only the joy of  be together with the tribe !?

Each one bring they're own decos, food and drinks and we all shared our things.

THAT'S A TRIBAL FESTIVAL !
Yes, because PAY and have to make things to work, is not a good way to attract people to a place like this.

Even , I have to say, The place was beautiful and touching, the sky and the moon was amazing.

Anywayyyyyyyyy.... Lets stop moaning !

Ocelot (the artist) was the king of the party, he played as Ocelot (dark psy) , played as progclote (as progressive trace during the day) and Played in the chill out tent (god knows with what name !)

I mean, many of the names in the line up didnt play and last day  everyone was invited to give the name to play for free !!!

Jesus, Mary and Jose !

2 bars, half a dozen of shops , 1 chill out tent and a couple of nice people trying to make the festival a pleasant place to be.

Lots of  Security's and some police in very moder cloths !! :o/Sort of undercover, you know??:(

Before even the festival started,it was not possible to go in by car anymore as the mud was clamping the cars and campers on the way up.

(see the video and photos.... PLEASE)
The tractor was the hero of the festival :)

On this chapter, I will not make Good words and Bad words as I did on OZORA chapter, I think i have said enough of what Mum and Dad really think about Transylvania calling festival)

PLEASE UNDERSTAND... THIS IS A PERSONAL POINT OF VIEW !

Lets talk about the good things...

* Music was good.

* Vibe between people was better then it was on OZORA
(this is because was much less people and we all did our best for the festival not to be a fiasco)

* More eye contact and friendship connection as people shared food and other things.

* Beautiful views

Take your conclusions !

At the end , become a festival with a good vibe  and very nice people BUT.....
I leave here the video and the photos... Enjoy and do not miss the next chapter of...

Ozora Festival

Chapter 32 - OZORA Festival - Hungary

Dear Diary...

After the past incidents my head is spinning of so much adventures :)

 I managed to arrive to OZORA Festival in Hungary. ;o)

Amazing ! This is the sort of place where I dont feel lonely as there are many old campers and trucks around.

Took us couple of hours to get into the festival but after we finally got in, mum and Dad managed to find a place for us to park (camping) and Nuno Nunes has been with us all the way :o)

This parking space was not the best place in the festival as it was very close to the road (dust roads) and was nearly 30minuts walk from the main dance floor.

(I did change color with so much dust!!)

The festival was very big... I mean .. was enormous and all the trucks and cars wanted to be very near to the dance floor which made people drive to the end and then have no way to return as the roads was crowded with trucks, campers, cars and other types of living lorries and buses !

On the second day it started raining and that made everything and everyone very  muddy. Yep, Mudd was a must in this festival... but not only !! After that one muddy day, the weather was hot, very hot. I was so hot inside that no one could stay inside in ME for too long. Mum and dad was melting away after just few minutes inside. Imagine, when they put the kettle on to make coffee, i was a living sauna.But hey, no complains about the weather, its summer time :):)

MUM AND DAD WORDS ABOUT OZORA FESTIVAL

DAD WORDS

Bad Words

* too big Festival! from the camping to the dance floor was 30 minutes walk. 

* The market place reminded to Camden Town in a rush hour... O.M.F.God !! kebabs, fish shop, 10 pizza places, cloths, food (restaurants)  ... all this in duplicate.

* The place was not amazing ! The festival was in a forest but that doesn't mean wonderful-land.

* No much places to get water and always a big cue in any tap available.

* 20 Toilets in one place. The next lot of toilets was far distance from each other.

* You can walk for all week and you will not see everything in this festival !!

Good words -> 

* Brilliant

* Good fun

* Good music

* Underground Market was amazing ! 

During the day most part of the (street shops) has closed and give a chance for Travelers and Party People to make a small flea market to get some extra money in the pocket PLUS...Some of the most amazing handmade cloths and jewelery I ever seen..

* Nice to see old friends

* Nice to make new friend (even so people was too busy all time with other things and not enough time left to make new friends)

Congratulations OZORA Festival Organization, you are making something different and it works !

* DO NOT CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE
* GET SMALLER 

* WE DO NOT NEED 10 PIZZA STORES

THANK YOU !!

MUM WORDS:

Bad Words

A bit too big. Wasnt easy to find friends. Not enough water taps around  A near by lake or river was missing to dip in during the hot days. Lack of lighting effects and deco in the chill out. Many people was driving up and down unnecessary during the day, creating lots of dust.

Good Words
 Very well organized start to finish. was nice to see local Hungarian food stalls such as langos stall. :)   Beautifully build chill out, made out of wood, which stays on the land permanently. Amazing view from the hill to the main dance floor.Great, free market place for travelers.

 Ozora Festival was in fact the biggest festival Mum and Dad have ever been.
After we left the festival and stopped at a local food store, mum heard from the shop assistant that it was 26000 people there this year. Gosh this is a lot. No wonder why they had trouble finding their friends around.

Chapter 24 - Tyres + Breaks

 Chapter  24 - Tyres and Breaks

Dear Diary...

yesterday Mum and Dad brought a pair of tyres for me.
They took me to the brokers and they paid £40 for both tyres.

Later, we drove to Bristol for a party and too see some friends but I have an issue...
Do you want to know what ??
INSERT COIN 


When Dad arrived in Bristol, he noticed that I was not breaking as usual. After we stopped at a friends house , dad decided to look at my break fluid box and found I have ... NON... NOTHING... was EMPTY... NO BREAK FLUID IN THE BOX !!!
This is a scary situation as dad have put some breaks/clutch fluid on me about 2 weeks ago before we drove to Cosmo Festival.

Dad`s Friend drove him to a garage and they brought some breaks fluid to put on me.

After that , Dad drove to the party and to pick some other friends and then we got back home next day but dad didn't look at my breaks fluid again. He says, that I break, but takes long and he has to keep the distance from other cars , just in case !!!

This week, dad will put me in a garage to change the filters and oil, plus to do a service, as I will have to make a long travel very soon and dad want to be sure (+ -) that all going to be fine.

Dad notice before, I drop some oil , is not much but he never give much attention to this as I am a old van and this is normal in old cars but now, dad is suspecting that this oil drops in not from my engine but from some hole in a breaks tube !!

Dad check my oil and water regularly but he says, I dont use up much oil or water, soooo... from where is  drops of oil coming from?
