Sailing On A Breeze Over the Seas of Cheese With Ease

@ Stockholm + boatride to Finland

We drove all night, right after the Copenhagen gig, to Stockholm. Everybody was really tired and hence everything was really funny. Everybody slept maybe an half and hour approx, so needless to say, the jokes weren't that smart, but indeed funny at the time.

I lost count, but we shouted "KUK!" probably a million times during the trip. To easily communicate our apparent road rage to our fellow commuters, we did a small sign that read "KUK!". It came in very handy when we got stuck in Stockholm during rush hour.

When we'd stop to eat at MC Donnellz', Tuukka noticed that he'd apparently lost his other shoe. How does one loose a size 47 (uk/us size 14) big New Rock boot with bright red flame ornaments? Easy, don't sleep for a couple of days and keep your boot leaning towards the door, so if anyone stops for a piss, it'll drop out from the van. We concluded the boot is probably somewhere 400 km away where we stopped for a piss. Shit happens, I lost my winter jacket on the Deathstars tour a month earlier...

Ironically Janica got her phone back (oh yeah, she lost it in Öresund) and then we headed for downtown Stockholm to buy new shoes to Tuukka and to wander around aimlessly. Took us 3 hours to find a parking spot. Went to Södra Malm or something like that, found a nice pizza place there where we stopped to eat. Then Elmeri got some ink done, three doves flying around an old tattoo he had on his arm. Very cool!

After not sleeping for two days, everybody passed out when we got to our cabins at the boat/ferry/whatever. After a few hours of sleep, the "guinea pig sneezed" (marsu aivasti, "tsship! glug glug... aah.") and helped ourselves to some liquids we found at the tax free shop. After a few hours of drunken philosophical debates in our cabin, we went to the boats nightclub. There were mostly old people, and I mean very, very old people, shy businessmen sipping on a drink alone, horny old drunken swedish men and a few drunken and flamboyant hags looking for cock... i mean company. Regular Stockholm-Helsinki ferry stuff actually.
