This is the third part of our tour report, continuing with our travels to Cluj.
Next after Budapest, we went on to Cluj in Romania, a leg of our journey that we were especially excited about. Markus was feeling somewhat better, which was a good thing. Because after a while of driving, empty highways through the Hungarian plains were followed by curvy roads through the Romanian mountains. With a lot of traffic too, which provoked interesting dialogue like "Hey, Felix, you are driving like a madman!" - "Oh yeah? If I'm a madman, then how'd you call that 30-ton truck driver passing us right now?!".
But we survived and arrived in Cluj. (even on time, despite the little-known fact that Romania's time is one hour ahead)
The concert hall came with a surprise: A student's theatre - with seats.
We've never played a seated show before, and I have to admit that I was thinking "oh well, this will get boring. Everybody will sit on the seats and be half asleep."
I couldn't have been more wrong. True, most people did stay on their seats (part of the time), but boy, how much noise can you make while sitting down?! This was completely beyond my expectations. After the show there were lots of fun conversations with people from the audience, too, even our way back to the hotel. This really was one of the nicest audiences.
