TL:DR ARGGGGH LOVED THIS TRIP SO MUCH!!!!

Smiles, love, insights, new countries, new people and new experiences.

Part 1 O Z O R A loveliness trip.

Tuesday 25th of juli was the date of departure. Packed my gear and cleaned up my house. Approximately @ 1600 got
picked up by camper. Ward, Luca, Rody, Jascha and Milan were to become my companions!

Paradise compagnons
We got on the road with destination Hungary half an hour later. After several hours of driving through Germany we
parked the camper next to a big golf course. Milan and I put our tents outside, the rest slept in the camper. After
having some proper breakfast we continued our journey.
After dusk we arrived on a rainy night at Austria. I was the designated driver and drove through the mountain area.
We looked for a sweet campingspot near a chateay. Eventually we found a dryspot at a tunnel. We thought it would
be a magnificent idea coz it looked like an abonded construction area.
Guess what, we were wrong! At 0600 cars were honking in front of our tents. We had to pack up our gear and get the
hell out.

As sleepy heads filled with coffee we traversed through countryside filled with villages and mountains. After a few
hours we held a small break. In here we found a small pool. The water was as cold as stone nipples. Even though ead
really nice swim and exploring in the nature.

Nature's finest
After the swim we proceeded to Hungary. When we reached the border we had a lovely chill to check out the plants,
bugs and enormous sunflower fields. After reaching Hungary the weather changed from rainy and max. 20 to sunny
and 27-35.

We reached Kasthely. A small touristic town with a thermal lake. After weve scouted the area we got some groceries
at the LIDL and made ourselves some diner. Before it would turn dark we looked for a nice place to sleep. We ended
up at a stunning quarry were Rody and I mountainbiked. In here I slept for the first time with the sky as my blanket.
Saw some shooting stars and felt in touch with nature.

The next day we had a relaxing (non-traveling) day. We went for a swim at the (unfortunately slightly commercial)
thermal lake. This was so vibrating and soothing. We even went to take a mud bath there. After we were all chilled
out we went for diner at a tradiational Hungarian restaurant. They were able to speak fairy well English so we
ordered lovely salads without cheese. They even gave us an extra side dish.
The last night before O Z O R A we slept near an (or so we thought) abandoned railtrack. Here I tried to sleep outside
under the dome as well. This time I got my tent at half past 3 because female mosquitos where hungry to procreate.
After that my night was pretty decent.

The last day before O Z O R A we chilled at the huge Balaton lake. Which has a circumference of 140 km (95 miles)!
You could walk for 500 meters (600 yards) and still the water has not reached your thighs. It was an amazing swim
though.
When the sun was setting we went to the Lidl and did a lot of groceries. Loads of beers for the group and ingredients
to make diner while the festival would be ongoing, to save money. We stacked up the pile of survival stash and
moved on to our last supper off festival grounds.
The diner was simple and in a touristic leisure place so we took off quite quickly.

At Saturday we drove the last 80 kilometers towards O Z O R A, we were so hyped! We arrived at the gates
approximately 01:00 AM. Which welcomed us to paradise.
There was no line at all! So we were all easily able to immediately get our wristbands!

Nough said!

Part 2 O Z O R A festival.
Arrival:
We looked for a sweet shadowy spot with the camper. After 20 minutes we found 1 @ the back of the camping. We
parked the camper, put our tents and set up the huge 4,5m high tent for more shadow in the morning. I used the
compass I had with to determine where my tent would endure best with the rising of the sun. We found our self in
wilight dimensia just after 2:30 am.

Home sweet home

Day 1 Exploring:
Festival not even officially open. But it was already brilliant to walk on festival grounds. We enjoyed the Chill Dome
were GOA GIL was performing a 24 hour long session. He is like the founding father of Psytrance and the GOA
community. The first dance there already felt like goosebumps all over. Already in synch with the area in which
adventures would spawn like funghi in rain. What a sweet thought! We walked around with the group for a little
exploration, which lasted for 3 hours.Trees, stages, point of views, dazing art, happy people and good vibrations. The
first impression got me filled up with euphoria. This was going to be a week that will always be part of me! Back at
camp we made some diner and got some sleep to embrace ourselves for what was about to come!

Day 2 Opening:
Today was the first day where the openings ceremony would be launched! This meant the mainstage would be
available for sickass dancemoves. Before that I participated on some workshops which were held at several places
(Pyramid, Healion or Chambok House). This day we woke up early so @ 10:00 Ward, Luca and I partake in a Thai
Massage workshop! We watched an hour first and after we practiced on a partner (a sweet Dutch fella I just met). We
learned a lot from each other by constantly providing feedback. Furthermore I joined a capoeira workshop, sound
healing music a food forest lecture and some Tribal belly dancing session. We got a call from Alex @ 19:00 Alex
because he was arriving from MODEM. Picked him up by bike and led him towards our camping spot. We arrived
smoothly on time for the opening ceremony. Funny fact, he arrived while the audience was applauding for the act at
hand. He acted like they were applauding for him! Best entrance I have seen so far!
After several openings acts we gathered en masse with thousands of people a few hundred meters apart from the
main stage. They put up a fire show and after that we went sprinting with the crowd towards the mainstage. Here a
band welcomed us while playing some nice tunes and we all danced as one. Although I lost all my friends at the rush
still had a really great time. After several hours I sat my ass down at the massive fire that was lit during the ceromony.
Talked with a man and his son (Dutch people) who were having a small quarrel. The son didnt wanted to be attached
with a piece of rope to his dad. I told the kid I would not have lost my friends if we were strung together. After a nice
acquaintance and exchange of smiled they went back to the dancefloor. Moved closer to the fire for some nice
firedance. All of a sudden was talking English with a girl who was Dutch (so we talked Dutch after). That night we
talking, having fun and dancing together at the fire and mainstage. She was also into Drum nd bass (had a PRSCPT
tattoo and went to WTF as well). This was the only night I spent with this lovely Rotterdam girl because on
Wednesday she would proceed to Let It Roll (DnB festival in Czech). The first night I would look at the inside of my
eyelids with a broad smile around 5 oclock.

Day 3 mainstage meeting:

Was a chilling day. My eyes were kissed awake by the sun @ 11 oclock. This festival was extra fun to go to because I
brought a waterspray (plantenspuit). Because of the heat I made load of people moan, smile and have some relieve.
Best weapon in stock! Had a great dance for a few hours at Mainstage (Captain Hook, Hatta and Evil Oil Man)
While dancing I met Marcel and Jip which held me company while spraying people. One of those people was Georgia.
Marcel told her to come with us and so she did. She was an English lass who came here by herself (her friend did not
come with, dirtbag). We met 2 Danish girls who were on acid. Jip got intwined in a conversation with them. While
they were at it we met Atilla who got his ticket from Georgia. He was here to find the love of his life (Kelsey Lloyd).
We left Jip behind and Marcel, Georgia, Atilla and I proceeded to our camp. Here we had some diner and Atilla and
Marcel left. Georgia and I had an amazing night this night. We watched the (meteor shower) stars atop of a hill. On
this hill there was a magnificent view over the field were the mainstage was situated. We laid here for a couple of
hours and went to dance afterwards. We ended the night by the fire and accidentally destroyed a hammock. The
hours flew by and all of a sudden dawn was on us.
We decided to go to her camp well hidden in a small forest! So we slept several hours until the sun burned me out.

Mainstage love
Day 4 chillout:
Georgia was fast asleep so I chilled with the French and Italian people who were wandering at camp. Had a lovely
chill and fulfilling breakfast. When Georgia woke up we went to festivalground towards the artplace. Up there a was a
really high point at which you could see all the surroundings. In here we went each our own way.
So I walked a bit along the market stalls. While grabbing some water in a bottle I encountered Rody. Went with him
for a dance at the mainstage. There was 1200 MICS bands. They were marvelous. The awesome mix of heavy
metal/old skool rock and psytrance gave me euphoric thrills all over. Reunited with Milan, Jascha, Alex, Yannick (who
was also at our camp by the time) and Rody was exhilarating. After dancing for several hours we went to make some
proper diner at our base. Some nice pasta, tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini (courgette) and sauce to gain some
energy. Well recovered we (+Alex and Rody) pressed on back towards the dancing area. Wanted to see Panda Dub @
Dragon Nest and got separated with them guys. In here Georgia and I were supposed to meet. Because of the big
crowd this did not happen. Still had an amazing dance and energy from the awesome music and crowd.
After Panda Dub my feet carried me to mainstage where Sphongle were playing their album premier. Reconnected
with some friends and had a blast of a dance. This day would be an early sleep to regain my psychical power. Because
I was still no fully recovered from the 4days festival @ Nijmegen (fokt up tendons above my anckles).

Newsflash
Day 5 Healing and aMAZEngly:
Woke up early in the morning. This day was all about confronting myself to the psychedelic experience. Workshops,
participating and lectures. Milan and I got on campaign together. Started with Aikado at 10 with the sun still low.
Learned about peacefully resolving. When in conflict just relax and keep your posture to yourself, you are in control!
After that turned to Healion for several hours in which I received lectures from Dr. Pankaj Naram (award winning
dude), who got me skeptical by his bragging and boasting (worked with Mother Teresa and Dalai Lama). After this
lecture Milan got back to camp and I solely proceeded my trip. Created some felt (vilt) art and got quantum click
healing from a strangely charming women @ Healion. Before diner I watched an Hungarian shadow puppet theater,
which was quite bizarre. Met up with all me maties at camp for some diner. Hand in hand, smile with smile we went
to the mainstage. Saw Novelty Engine and Alpha Portal playing some sweet psymusic. Around 2200 I met up with
Georgie once more. Together we had a sweet connective night. We went to the labyrinth, were we got lost several
times. After the labyrinth we had chilled a couple of hours in a hammock together until the cold grasped us both. We
said our goodbyes and went to get some rest at our own camps.
Day 6 Freeday mainly midday tunes:
Started the day with a psychical release workshop. Move without thought from 0% effort up to 100% effort. Dance
with 5 different partners. This was really intense and marvelous! After the session drank some tea with 4 lovely dutch
people including Jiska.
Revitalized for the Mainstage.
Mainstage was lit! Ace Ventura, Astrix, Lucas and Tristan at DJ booth in a row. Was a dance from 11:30 am till 5 pm!
Sometimes a little break to check out some amazing healing music (which got my head to exotic places).
In the evening I met up with Marcel and Eva. We felt like the 3 crazy mousquetaires. So we went for the circus! Crazy
acts, really out of the box tricks and joking constantly! At the end of the show we found my camp on watching as well
so we went to greet them. Georgia also came to our group so we had a small moment of one big happy family.
After a short while we split up and went our own way. Me and miss English were going to the chill dome and danced
there for a few hours. The artists (Kaya project) playing were really relaxed and the vocalist was singing absurdly high
and mesmerizing. She also sang in Sanskrit (Indian). We danced till 01:30 am and went to sleep at my camp.

Day 7 early birds and money loss:
We woke up with a lots of struggles, at 9:30! We wanted to have another thai massage session and so we woke up
exhausted. The only thing we did after was taking a long long cold shower and chill around. There was a Theashack
with free tea available. After some sweet tea we went to Marcels camp and chilled there for several hours with
Marcel, Jip, Piet and Laura. Bought lots of stuff at the market place as well. At 7 pm Marcel, Eva, Georgia came with
to a relaxing violin session. It was a nice limbo between space and sleep there. Marcel even got the play the electric
iolin afterwards! Cant really recall what happened after this. Slept woke up and went for the last dance!

Marvellous Marcel and Georgias Geogie

Day 8 final dance:
The mainstage was supposedly closed at 6 pm. So we went for a last dance there! It was a nice close and my heart
was grateful for the nice vibes, dances and energy! It was even raining during the last hours of the closing!
That evening I was having fun with Georgia and my camp. We were chilling at the camper because there was a
massive rain. Really cozy with Alex, Jascha, Milan, Ward, Luca, Georgia and me.
Approximately at 22:00 we went for a last festival stroll. Georgia and I danced at the chillout area and pumpuii area
(lameass mix psytrance and techno but wed manage still). We talked with an English girl who was pretty injured and
dumped on her 3rd day here. Gave her some mental support and brought here to first aid for some physical fix up.
After the dance we drank some tea and chilled together for several hours at the pyramid stage (stayed dry while it
poured). We left the stage at 5 am and slept well together

GOODBYE!
Pack our shit and leave was the goal. This turned out to be wake up slowly, grab some shit, buy pants, chill a lot, have
breakfast, have fun, pack the car and leave (3 hours later then planned) .
We said our goodbyes to the people who were awake at the time and left O Z O R A behind with Alex the driver,
Stijn , Georgai and me. We had to wait in a queue to leave. We scavenged around some and managed to find some
slippers and sweet Moroccan hat.
Part 3 way back!
First stop Budapest! Never been to this amazing town but after 1,5 hour drive we had our first stopover!
We found a decent park and rocked our asses down. We found a loose bench and put that way up high. Point of view
overkill. We saw entire Budapest laying at our feet. This place was also the departure of Georgia. She was going to
stay here for a while. We said our goodbyes with smiles and love. Grateful to have met this awesome independent
English weirdass georgias Georgia. She helped me get rid of some insecurities and doubt I had in me! We had the
most amazing talk
Shimmering Smiles all the way

Buda pestering view

On the road again with Alex and Stijn. Our next target was Prague/Praha where we were going to meet with Jimmy
(an friend who moved here for a job). At 00:00 we arrived at this lively historic town.
I slept at Jimmys place and the 2 guys went to an A&O hostel. We met up in the morning to receive a personal tour
from Jimmy.
We got our tickets for public transport for 24 hours for 110 kroner (like 4)! Traversed all across town while Jimmy
taught us about the city and the monuments. The city has a well preserved historic part. It has not been bombed or
touched by earthquakes. We went content to sleep after park chilling, fruit picknick, night overview of the city,
coffeeshop checking, watching beautiful ladies, cheap transport, wowed a lot and getting a job offer from Expedia.

Slavish chilling

Mysterious Prague Cathedral

Wednesday morning we drove off from Prague tot Holland with the car. We left at 12:30 pm and arrived in Holland at
21:30. Alex got us home quick and safely. Forever grateful for this trip.
