We slept until somewhere around 1. We had the famous Jesse brand chocolate cruesli (it’s really populair amoung my friends). We started our day really slow: had coffee, took a shower, checked some music and movies on internet. Around 4 we left for the Anouk concert which was held at the Geldredome in Arnhem. After asking advice from one of the NS worker at the trainstation we bought a NS Lentetoer (spring tour), this ment we could travel for 40 euro everywhere until 4.am and we could sit first class.

Waiting in the train is very very boring however. So we started to get weird. Lucky for me Line also is a singer and she sang about half of the time, it’s something like Jukebox. Traveling first class does seem to have its advantages

Finally we got at the concert, Lot of lines, but we got in fairly fast. (maybe because we were a wee bit late). But the concert hadn’t started yet and we could get pretty close to the stage. The preshow was Postman (the husband of Anouk) and after a long wait again Anouk started. Im personally not a huge fan of Anouk. I like the rockier songs but the ballads I like less. However I surprised about the sounds and mood of the concert. I was very good and I really enjoyed it as did Line. A bit of a drawback was that Line is small compared to the dutch so she had to stretch to see everything.

After the concert going back home was proving to be more an ass that it was going to the Geldredome. It us 5 bloody hours to get back home. The concert ended at 11 and we went to bed at 5 (the clock jumped an hour due to DST).

To sum it up it was a long day of waiting, but we had an awesome concert

Friday started off with the fact that the teacher was sick on Friday so I had my Friday off. Not that it really mattered since I wasn’t planning on going to school anyways as my friend Line from Denmark was arriving for a concert of Anouk. So no school but I still had to get up early since Line was arriving at 9.45. I took the train in Dordrecht around 8. Finally at the airport where I arrived a little bit early, I had to wait which is pretty annoying (like waiting for a delayed train or bus) as you don’t know when the person you need to pick up comes out of the slider doors.

Well I endured and met Line who had to wait longer for her bag. After all that we went to my place in Dordrecht to have a quick drink and drop off Line’s bags and then go to Rotterdam where I wanted to show her around and buy myself some new shoes. After we completed the mission for the shoes we had a look around one of the biggest bookstores in the Netherland. They have a lot of music books just the place to take a singer . We got some stuff which included a songbook for Line and a little notebook for me. I’ve been wanting to go to a little coffee shop (it sells Coffee not weed!) in Rotterdam called ‘Cappuccino’. The coffee there is top quality so I decided to take Line there. We both had a big cup with cream and cinnamon sticks. After that we went to my parents places where we watched an Anouk dvd and had dinner with my mom.

In the evening my friend Robin’s band Schraapstaal was performing in a small metal café Texmex. Its was a fun concert although the pitting 15 yr olds were a bit silly. Just another proof that Spijkenisse sucks when it comes to going out. :p After Schraapstaal we went to Rotterdam where we were wanted to go pooling, but it too busy so we just sat down in a bar and had beer and chatters.We went home back to Dordrecht around 3 or something and went straight to bed.
