Hey Guys,

like I mentioned in my last post, I have been to the biggest GOA festival (in Europe) and it´s been amazing. Amazing food, amazing music and amazing people.

But first things first.

The travel

Tom(@tomnoble) and me started early on Sunday 22nd, we took the train to the airport and I had some doubts, that we have some overweight/overheight on our luggage. We planned to take the backpacks into the cabin, but as you see there are a bit big :D

On the train I realised something, but that story Ill tell you in person!^^

Well however, we wanted to check in and give them the stuff, but then my concerns became reality, they said the stuff is too big for the cabin(it would have been 120€ for those 2), so we discussed the whole topic like 10min or so, she wanted to call her superviser, but in the end, we looked so good, that she made an exception for us ;D

First problem solved, many more to come.

After waiting for the delayed plane, it was boarding time. So they have to check the boarding card and the passport, and Toms passport expired on that day... xD
So they had to check if thats ok, and in the EU it is No problemo, but the airline is able to refuse.. which they didnt^^

So next step was to go on the plane, sounds simple, but let me tell you it wasnt.

The are like 2 corners in the tunnel to the plane and we followed the people before us. Some asians were leading and they went downstairs. There were like 10 people in front and 15 behind of us. And I said and thought it would be stupid that we have to the bus to the plane which, was right next to us. but I couldnt move between the crowd and so we waited like 10 mins for the neverarriving bus.
Eventually, a stewardess came and said we should enter the plane(so the asians in fron of us took the wrong path... and we lost some time there too)

We flew with TAP like 3hours and finally arrived in Lisbon. We didnt book the Boombus and couldnt get a ticket, which was pretty meh, because the bus was right there... So we meet some lovely swiss guys, who travled with us by train and then by bus to the festival. We talked and drank a lot on the way to boom, sadly we havent met them there again :(
