Kavadarci - Sofia

Back home in Macedonia we are welcomed by one of the most delicious fish ever: The Yummy Ohrid Trout. Served in a small restaurant just behind the border and right on the beach of this fantastic lake. At this time we can't know yet that tonight it gets even wilder. The director of the cultural festival in Kavardaci invites us to a bar with local veggie food and rakia after our concert.

We played on a big square in front of the municipal building of the city. Hundreds of people, many young folks and also a lot of kids. Two local bands and big fun! It was the warmup party for the festival this weekend. Our hotel is insane, nice rooms and huge pool. But better not to swim in it after the daily dose of chlore got poured in. Our friends from the local festival crew bring us a bottle of self made rakia. Perfect day. Fala! Good night.

Again we start early today, it's quite a distance to Sofia. And again borderwork to do. Waiting. Having chit chat and giving away CDs to the border police. Non EU / EU paperwork. ATA carnet documents, stamps. What that is? You don't wanna know. Somehow we always mangae to make it in time. Even without the stolen number plate. One hour time distance and rush hour in Sofia break our neck. We arrive late at the radio station and later at the club. Technical problems keep us busy until five minutes before the show. But we have to start in time cause the concert is broadcasted live in the whole country! So no enjoying the nice old cinema, no chilling and coming down. No food, no beers! Result: A fuckin great show and a crazy audience. Thanx guys for showin up. Superiako!

After all our stuff is back in the van we have some free minutes for the first time that day. Some of us go straight to their beds, some made a small nightseeing tour in the capital. Costa and some nice people from around show us the chilled out side of the town. Great relaxing end of an exhausting day. Tomorrow we have to get up early again. Next date in the radio station in Skopje waits for us.
