Tour Perspective of Pieter (Pappa) Bekker

Some thoughts by the man who keep everything together, or at least tries to!!!

Theww... having planned this tour for two years and some change I thought that the hard work would be over...

Starting the tour of we played two shows in Cape Town town. We then had a flight to Gauteng that was a stressful exercise on it's own. When we wanted to board our flight it had been taken off the system by the agency that booked it. About 50 calls later and they had gotten us a flight. Two hours later we were in Gauteng and got picked up by our great friend Stephan. We played four shows in Gauteng it as soon as we knew it was time to get to the airport again to start of the biggest trip we have ever done!!!

Two days, Two flights, three airports and a bunch of drinks and movies later we landed at Schipol International. This would be the First time De Wallen would feel how it feels to be a real band. We waited for our rental company to come pick us up. We then went to their office to get our van and gear and we set off to our booking agent, driving on the wrong side of the road and living our best life hahahah. We reached our agent and it was great actually meeting him in person and getting our drum kit from him.

Last bit of the day was a funny shopping experience at a shop called Lidle and an intense hour and an half drive as we are used to driving on the other side of the road. We reached our accommodation and to our detriment the were already closed... After walking around in the cold wallowing in self pity a friendly worker told us there is an emergency number. We then called and they gave us a code to a safe that had all of our keys, paperwork etc in. Bless first world countries!!!!

All in all, a wild trip but damn we loved it and now we are ready to get the real work started!!!
