Donau Insel Fest 2011

On friday night, the day befor Freya arrived, Eva and I went to the Donauinselfest 2011 for a short while. This is one of the largest outdoor music festivals in europe! I had seen weeks befor that Train was going to be performing that night, so we made our way over to the propper stage (their are hundereds of stages, small and big on, around the entire island). We left 40 minutes early inorder to make it their on time (calculating metro time, walking time, etc into the equation). Little did I know that the Island is HUGE and when crouded with millions of people can take three hours to get to the other side. It started to look as though we would never arrive for the concert on time, when we descovered a little pathway that runs right allong the water ar a lower level as the other paths (the island is slightly elevated, like a hill). Not so many people were their, so we were able to walk quickly and make it to the concert on time (we did however miss the first few songs). We walk up to the outside stage and the music seems strange. It was like a mild form of heavy metal! We listened, and after a minutes I said to Eva ''You know, I have a fealing this isnt Train!'' Turns out we had gone to the wrong stage. We made out way down the island again. It was a very nice evening, though the weather was not the best. It rained befor and after the show, but luckily, the gods were on our side and didnt let the rain fall while the performance was going on. Train sang ''Hey Soul Sister'', ''Calling all Angels'', ''Drops of Jupiter'', and several of their other best hits. Too bad freya didnt come a day earlier!
