So finally it was time to fly a bit closer home, to Copenhagen in the morning of Wednesday. The flight was 8.15 local time, so I took the 6 am bus from Tórshavn to the airport.
The weather were better, so I guess this will be it for this time ;)
Slept in the bus, it was dark and not much to see. And I said goodbye on Monday, this was a non-dramatic departure.
I was on the airport before the guys, so I ate banana, smoked and had some orange juice.
After a few hours of sleep it was a bit slow start for me...
First I saw Eddie and short after they came all. Would think they would have more stuff with them. Still the airport stood a bit still when they entered. They are probably known by the locals, so that might be the case. No screaming fans, yet ... saying goodbye... me and Mikkjal's family and Knut.
Travelling with them felt something natural, and I can imagine that I could on the way to the tour ... An ordinary flight to Copenhagen what so ever, the bun and coffee, took some Baileys to go with the coffee. Could not see the Faroe Islands underneath since takeoff, it was still a lot of fog and clouds.
Together they are a bit loud, boys will be boys ... and probably some elder gentlemen did mind, but I laughed at their pranks and joke's ... and even if I sometimes do not understand the language, it does not matter ... it is still a warm way of joking ... they belong and you can sense it.
Are thinking of that it will sad to say goodbye, but the joy of seeing them excited and on their way, wins over the sadness. They have worked hard to come this far ... and there some way to go ...
Fear of flying catches one of them, and of course, he is the loudest of them ;D And funny :D
We arrive to Kastrup in noon, DK time. We gather our stuff and go to arrivals. And there is Kalle, the bus driver to take them to the tour bus, that is waiting outside. That went so quickly, got only one blurry picture of Kalle ;D
A purple tourbus. The luggage and instruments are packed. Gudmar's girlfriend Maibritt is there also to say goodbye to Gudmar. Then they are ready to go. Me and Maibritt do not get the ride with the bus to Copenhagen, since the route goes to Malmö and that is not past the Copenhagen way. But I get proper hugs from all and promises that we will meet soon enough. And I will be there in spirit, of course.
Me and Maibritt take the metro to Copenhagen. And have a nice cup of coffee. And we talk. She tells me many things, but especially how much she will miss Gudmar. I can understand her. And at the same time I understand the guys, they follow their dream... and that is important also. There are some things one has to do, and they have put a lot to risk ... there are no other way ... and in the end ... it will worth it.
Good luck, have a blast and blow Norway to their knees...
I give the torch for now to Orphy... for a moment.
I hang out in cold Copenhagen, see couple of dear old friends and have a short night's sleep on my friends sofa. On Thursday morning I fly home... Not easy that either, due to snowy weather ... icy wind too.
This is the beginning to an exciting journey indeed. I can feel it...
