Europe 2006

European tour - the final chapter.

Trafalgar Square was a huge success. The sky's eventually cleared and we got to perform both shows to a large crowd. It was pretty amazing performing under Nelson's Column.

European tour part 3.

Well after some crazy driving through Poland and a quick stop in Berlin we finally got to Pletenenburg, Germany. We stayed at a very quaint hotel on a horse ranch in the mountains. It was run by a lovely couple and they were very proud of the diverse guests they have stay with them and asked everyone to sign a guest book. Looking through the old guest books, I see that "Divine" has stayed there along with many a 80's faded forgotten one hit wonder groups and other German folk music legends, non of which I have heard of. Here is the view from the bedroom window.

European tour part 2.

Well I finally got my luggage back after 3 days. Luckily we had 3 rest days planned in Madrid so this worked out perfectly. I ended up buying some new undies and a couple of nice shirts and then got back all my stuff.

Really enjoyed the night life in Madrid and just enough time before heading off to Almagro in the land of La Mancha in Spain's centre. We stopped at a roadside café so we had to take the obligatory photo with the cutout figures, as you do.

George's trip so far.

If you ever wondered what it would be like to be part of a touring theatre company, hopefully, this will give you an idea.

We begin the 48 hour journey to get to the other side of the world which will encompass flying, train travel, taxis and on route by foot. All check in at Tullamarine airport heading for the final destination of Poznan in Poland.

Malaysian airlines and first stop Kuala Lumpur on a pleasant flight and the stewards handed us 2 bottles of wine as we left. Think we were the B.O.B's (Best On Board) of the flight. That is the first 8hrs &10min done . Got on the next flight heading Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam with KLM travel time 12hrs & 25mins... boy was that fun with no personal TV screen or leg room to speak of. Then Amsterdam to Berlin which should have been 1hr & 20min but the plane was cancelled due to staffing issues so we had to stay at the airport for 8 hrs so that we could get on the next flight to Berlin.
