I'm back!
14 years ago
I'm back from my tour in Holland, and it was... pretty good. Very enjoyable.
On the Friday, we did a lot of travelling on the coach from where we normally rehearse to Dover, then catch a ferry to Calais and then head all the way through France and Belgium to reach Holland. We reached the hostel near Utrecht where we were staying, and we all checked into our rooms, then had to do a brief choir rehearsel which none of us wanted to. =_=
The second day, we had a short stay in for the morning, then we headed off on the coach to spend some of the day in Utrecht (apparently there were pickpockets, but I don't think any of us were victims). We went in small groups, and my group just walked through the town, visited a church with 5 organs in it, and had a lunch at a McDonald's. =_= Then later, we all headed off on the coach to a church in Weert, where we were to have a concert with another choir group called Vivace. It all went very well. ^^
Third day, we had to get up early and ready to attend a Sunday Service (in Dutch) at a different church in a place I can't remember the name of, and then we headed off to Medemblik where our final concert took place. We all had a break before we had to rehearse, so all the choir members (including me) just walked around town, and we even began singing in the town, and were soon dissed by a group of tall geezers. I knew it was a bad idea to sing in the street from the start. But later, we had a rehearsel, then final preparations, and the last concert went very well. ^^
On the final day, we were travelling back to England on the coach, and me and Luke (a choir member) were duelling each other in New Super Mario Bros on our DS'. XD It was absolutely funny and thrilling. Occasionally he'd pick up a super shroom and grow to a giant, and I'd be running like hell screaming, 'NOOOOO! GO AWAY!' But I kept beating him =w= 5 times to be exact.
Anyway, it was an awesome trip, and I'm glad to be back.
