It was our first day without gig for 7 days. We were sad because one of the crew, Faustine, had to leave the adventure.



Désolé Faustine, tu dois quitter l'aventure star-yapa :(

The day began with a walk in the touristic streets of Dubrovnik. 

After, we came back to the sea where we were last night and this time, it was a really pleasant time to swim : water was warm transparent, we jumped from the rocks, we were alone and it was a really good moment.



Then we had a really intersting talk with Marco about Dubrovnik, the organisation of the Orlando club and the youth of the city. 

Before leaving to Mostar, we wanted to eat something and guess was we found ? Pizzas of course ;p

Border episode 2 : crossing of croatian to bosnian border.

First, we had to wait for the return of the croatian chief. Fortunately, this  border is perhaps the only border to have a bar so we had a little rest drinking beer.

But then after the moment the croatian chief came back and filed and stamped our papers for our music stuff, the bosnian chief had quit the border...

So they made us wait for a long time, intentionally speaking bosnian and tell us to go from one office to one another so as to finally ask for money to put in their pocket. They took fabrice and christophe in their office, the closed the door and asked for 500 euros. We laughed and proposed 30 euros. Then, they spoke to each other in Bosnian and had a big laugh. They proposed 100 euros... Finally we payed 50 euros and left the border after 1h30.

We arrived in the beautiful city of Mostar and had diner in front of the stone bridge.

We went then to the place of our friends in Ortijes where we were well welcomed by Srdjan and Tcina.

Then we had the longest night for a long time.

After a great BBQ with Marin, we spent a nice afternoon playing backgammon and guitar. Then we drove to SPlit where we got lost and turn around one hour and an half to find the harbour parking (Thank you Simon, you were a great help to us since it was the third time you came in Split ...)

The gig was at the Ghetto club in the old town. We had Bino the Pivo as special guest on flute.

Then we slept on the first floor without water and shower. It was not the best night of the tour ...

This day began difficult because we drove 8 hours to go to Imotski.

The gig was organized by Umi, a croatian association of young people which reminded us our own "Sauce Dibim". They squat a former tobacco factory: On the ground floor they've created a live concert place, and on the first and second floor, exhibition places. We played outside, just in front of the building. A hundred of people were there and they really enjoyed the show.









Waiting for Xavier ....


After we were taken to a discotheque in the center of Imostski. We met here a lot of people who saw us before on stage. We stayed till 5 in the morning and saw our first tour sunrise. Thanks to Jela and Rajko. Hope we will come back soon.
