Euro Year

Our itinerary for carti was:
22 hrs bus, arrive at liege at 10am, look around the city during the day, get to the festival in the evening, have a nap under a tree until 8am, then take a bunch of trains to get home by 6pm.

Up until the trains everything went to plan. The bus was super uncomfortable and long, both of us got a tummy bug for some reason, which made it really miserable.
Liege was really nice! We got Belgian waffles for lunch which were delicious and then chilled out the front of a supermarket for pres. The supermarket was chock full of festival goers buying drinks and having their pres too, so it was actually really fun. I'd had a terrible tummy ache all morning but it miraculously got better after my first sip of beer! There were so many people at the festival, more than I think I've ever seen anywhere. The carti show was amazing too, so much energy, it was probs the best live show I've seen :)). The mosh was so hot that afterwards we were dripping wet with sweat (it was like wed jumped into a pool with our clothes on), which meant we had to sleep in wet clothes ew. We found a park to sleep in and stayed from like 2 till 6, surprisingly, I slept till about 5 so it really wasn't that bad! Then everything got messed up. Google maps isn't as accurate with these trains as it has been with everything else, so we ended up getting on the wrong train. This meant we were going to miss every other train that we'd booked, we were 2hrs behind. I managed to fix it though, we had to sneaking onto trains and act confused for the ticket checkers but it was looking like we were still going to get to warsaw by 11pm. Then our second last train took 2hrs longer than expected so we missed the last train to warsaw. This meant we had to buy last minute bus tickets, wait in Berlin until 1130, and then endure another extremely uncomfortable 8hrs on a bus. We got back home at 8am.

Carti was awesome but nothing is worth the amount of effort and discomfort we had to go through. Were both sick now because we haven't slept or eaten properly in 3 days.En savoir plus
