Come on, how is this possible? Two days ago i woke up on a farm in Italy, with 26 degrees. Today i wake up, still in Italy, but in 2 degrees only! A bit disappointed over the cold morning, i got up and had breakfast in the bus, and stepped outside for a walk. The first thing i see is the white frost on the grass in front of the venue, brrr...

I took a walk in the small community of Brunico, and it only took me a couple of minutes to sheer up and get a smile on my face again. I realised that we were in the alps, and everywhere i looked around me it was alps and mountains. Beautiful, just like a postcard! After a while i felt lonely in the streets of Brunico, so i went back to the bus, completely determined that someone, SOMEONE, must be up and wants to join me! If not i will wake them up!

Back in the bus again, a few people had just woke up and i dragged them out of the bus and convinced them to go for a walk in these beautiful surroundings. They were not that enthusiastic in the beginning but i persuaded them to come along anyway. Same thing happened to them after just a few minutes. Now we walked through the whole main street, had a coffee in a small coffeeshop, continued and after a couple of blocks turned right when we found an old church, and there it was right in front of us: a huge steep mountain with an old castle on top of it. Wow, another postcard!

Without hesitate, we all walked up that mountain. Up, and up, and up... and up.. Finally we got to the top and the castle. Majestic! I found out that "Castel Brunico" was built by Bishop Bruno von Kirchberg in 1251-1288, and this is also when i realised that we are in south Tyrolean part of Italy. After this adventure and loads of "wow" moments from all of us, we had the long walk down again and went back to the UFO club.

The show was okay, not one of the best but on the other hand i am still sick so it might be my own feeling only. I had to leave the stage a couple of times coughing and drinking water. I hope i get better soon.

Now we are leaving Italy and are heading for Germany for the third time on this tour.
