Okay..guess it’s time for a new blog entry.. and I decided to do it in English once again.<\/p>\n

I will try to recall all the things from Wacken, I consider important and\/or interesting. I will not write everything here. There are just some certain things that are good to be remembered, but nothing to share with everyone who wasn’t there.
\nSo.. this here will more or less be a report of the main events.. of my impressions and opinions. And..more or less some memory for myself. Nevertheless I hope you’ll enjoy it!<\/p>\n

Monday, July 30.<\/b>
\nWriting a shopping list with Lea and Mika…driving to the stores.. the first shock: No beer left at the Sky market. (Okay, I don’t drink beer, but Mika does and we were also doing some shopping for friends from Bavaria) Luckily my father had a solution for our problem and sent us to some other store I hadn’t thought of before. And – there was beer!<\/p>\n

Baking a birthday cake for Benja..<\/p>\n

Packing.
\nSince we had planned to meet at 8 am in Bad Oldesloe we had to do all our packing on Monday. Here the next problem occurred. Yes, we DO have a big car.. but I insisted on taking my blanket and my pillow (and an other fleece blanket) along with my normal sleeping bag, and I made Mika and Lea take theirs as well.. that cost a lot of space. Plus we had food for 5 people (Lea, Mika, me & the 2 friends from Bavaria), 5 chairs, an extra tent, the canopy\/gazebo (whatever you call that) and luggage for 3 persons.. and we had to save some space for Daniel’s food and luggage… luckily Lea wasn’t traveling with us in the car, so we had only to plan seats for 3 persons.
\nBut in the end we somehow got everything in the car.
\nWell..almost everything.. some things we left out. And Dennis (who was coming in the morning to pick up Lea) had to take those things in his car.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, July 31.<\/b>
\nWe got up early and left about 7.10 am, because I wasn’t sure how long it would take to drive to Daniel and fit his luggage into the car. Especially since we were planning to stop at some ATM on the way.
\nI had told Daniel that I would pick him up at 7.30. We were way too early, but he was already ready.<\/p>\n

~8 am: Departure. Mika had changed cars, so Tim wouldn’t have to drive alone. So we had more room than we had hoped in the car. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Arrival at Wacken. First shock: We are told that we have to park our cars and walk to some other place for camping.
\nBut in the end we didn’t have to walk that far and found quite a good place for our tents. Since our tent had 3 cabins and we needed only 2 for sleeping, the third became our “pantry”.<\/p>\n

And I met Kalle again. After one year. Not for a very long time but at least we had some time to talk. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Wednesday, August 1.<\/b>
\nHappy Birthday, Benja! \ud83d\ude42
\nOur cake was a little dry by now, but not too bad. \ud83d\ude42 The other birthday present, the melon, was used very late that day..when it became a “magic melon”.
\n3 more people arrived.<\/p>\n

I saw 3 bands:<\/p>\n
