25 August.

4:00 am, Portugal, I woke up packed my last stuff and drove to the airport to take my plane to Holland, I was really excited and nervous.At 12:20 i arrived at Schiphol, one hour later than it was supposed. Keet, Han and Lisa were waiting for me. Time for some kisses, and hugs. I learned fast I had to give 3 kisses and not 2 like we do in Portugal. I was amazed it was raining, and it was warm, thanks God!!!! No more 40 degrees sun burning my back, rain finally. :p Then I had a very nice surprise, Lisa told me she was going to try to arrange some tickets for Sweelpop, hihi, I was not waiting at all, I was shocked, I was going to see Kane performing twice. On friday and Saturday. Olé!!!!!!!

After some calls we knew where to get the tickets. The girls took me to Ajax stadium and to Media Markt, where I bought two DVDs - with or without you, Kane live 05, and the album Fearless. Olé!!!! Ajax stadium looks really good (congratulations Davidian). I start getting hungry, it was time for lunch. I tried to ate a very horrible fish, God it was impossible to eat, hihi, where is my Mediterranean food? Olé!!!! Ok the lunch was over. Menham Menham, it was time to start driving to north Holland for Sweelpop, I said bye to Keet and my trip for my first Kane gig began. Along the away I loved Utrecht, such a beautiful, beautiful houses. I slept a lot too. I must say I loved Holland streets ,the bikes, everything so much different than here where I live. The farms near Sweelpop left me speachless, amazing, I made videos of them.

Finally we arrived at Sweelpop, Lisa and Han were trying to arranged me a meeting with Kane, (very sweet of them), it was not possible, but I was not disappointed at all, I was really not counting on meeting them. It was already so good that I was going to watch the guys performing. :D Lisa and Han helped me to find the way to the first row, olé. I watched the band that played before Kane, they were pretty nice, the vocalist is so funny, hihi. Finally Kane got on stage, I couldn't believe, I was there seeing Kane. Damn it, finally, I have been waiting for that for so long. I tried to show my Kane shirt, that says Portugal houdt van Kane, to the guys, hihi!!!! Dennis told me later he saw it. :D.I didn't notice he saw it, anyway if he says he did, THATS TRUTH,OLÉ!!!!!!!!!VIVA DENNIS!!!! I took some pics and made videos, and I was totally amazed by their performance, I loved the girl that got on stage and danced, ha ha, she was fantastic on stage. :p

I loved to hear "Damn those eyes" live and "Hold on to the world", because those are two of my favourite songs. I made a video of "Damn those eyes". But it was really cool to hear all the other songs, "Believe it", "So glad you made it", "Rain down on me",...etc .I really adored the concert. It was a great concert, it was so few people there and I really hate crowded places, so it was so so cool, thanks Lisa, Han and Rob :p. At the end of the concert Lisa told me we were going to wait for the band members, but probably they would get out of Sweelpop driving, and that was what happened. I had the chance to meet Linda from All-kane (nice to meet ya babe). Ok the we had a long way driving to Rotterdam to Lisa's place, thanks again Lisa, it was an amazing night at your home, you have a fantastic house, I will love sleep there more often, hahaha, :p. Love your cat (Puntje) sleeping on top of me. Ok the night was pretty nice.

26 AUGUSTUS.

Next day I woke up, very happy :D. Couldn't believe I had seen Kane, couldn't believe I was in Holland, wow, but yeah...I DID see Kane and I was Holland. OLÉ!!!! Soon Keet, her husband and Harm arrived with some bread and cheese. And my Dutch mama Sannie called Lisa and, wow, she wanted to talk to me, :D. I picked up the phone and my mama says she had a surprise for me, OH MY GOD!!! I HAD TO BE AT 15:00 AT MALIEVELD TO MEET DINAND AND DENNIS. :o. No I didn't jump, didn't scream, didn't pull my hair, haha, I am not a person that shows that much how happy I am. Keet says: Ana you are going to meet them!! Aren't you happy? Me: HaHa yes. :D So a bit of a rush to be at Malieveld at the hour my mama asked me. I am a good daughter. Olé!!! When i arrived there with Han, while Lisa took my stuff to the hotel at Den Haag, Sannie, Foxie and Krissy (the beautiful, sweet Norwegian girl) were not there yet. But soon they arrived, time for more kisses and hugs. I was extremely nervous, it seemed I had a heart in the place of my stomach. Some minutes after I met Dith and Droppie, -you rock girls!!!! And I had a very nice surprised, I also met Nancy (love ya babe).Oh i had the chance to say hi to Miranda, from Kanecluppie, a very quick meeting, haha. Olé!!!!

Time for the meeting!!! AH my God!!!! Diana took me, Fox, Sannie and Krissy to the backstage, and as soon as I saw Dinand and Dennis, I was not nervous anymore, not at all, very weird... Dennis come to shake hands but I demanded 3 kisses, bahahaha, olé! Dinand come to shake hands too, but I demanded also 3 kisses, lol. OK let me try to remember what happened then, haha, well I asked Dinand to talk a little Spanish, he said :como estás?(how are you?) :D, Nice Din,-you rock. Hem what else? Damn it my head, I always forgot everything, haha. Dennis asked me if I was the girl from the site. I took my pic with the boys, Krissy also, and it was time for ask them to sign us some stuff. I asked dennis if he had seen my shirt (the one that says: Portugal houdt van Kane) :p, he said he did. :D. And Dinand told us which one was the best place to see the stage. The guys were so so nice, pretty normal people, not cocky at all. Really strange to see them in flesh, I was only used to see pics and videos. They look much better for real than on screen. They are really sweet people. Hem didn't meet Martijn, Nico and Manuel, but I want to say I also like them very much .I saw Nico and Martijn at Asta but I didn't talk to them, because I respect a lot their private lives, they were there to have fun so...it was nice enough to see them so close. HiHi :p. Ok when the meeting was over, I was in heaven. It was time to wait for the concert pfiew how long I had been waiting for that gig??? A long long time definitely.

The 2 bands that played before Kane helped making time goes by fast, and soon Kane got on stage. wow. I had never seen any singer performing so amazingly like Dinand, and I don't say this because I am a Kane fan, I really really think it was the best performance I ever seen, Dinand is a" stage lion", he is fantastic, he was born to be on stage definitely, I loved loved loved the gig. Dennis was also great too. Kane you are fantastic. OLÉ. After the gig, me and the crew went to Asta, nice place, it was not very crowded, I had the chance to see Johnny De Mol and Martijn, Nico, and again Dennis .:P ,Olé!!!!! Finally we went to the hotel .I slept in the same room as Fox and it was so nice, we talked and talked, till almost be morning. It was hard to fall asleep, I had a great day.

27 AUGUSTUS.

Sunday were my last day in Holland (I was already missing all the girls thinking I had to come back Portugal).The girls took me to the beach, to Mecca, nice beach, I saw some black birds, that we don't have in our beaches in Portugal, a lot of people with their doggies, a nice ocean breeze, and a nice warm sun. Soon was time for me to go to the airport, I had to be there at 17:00.So after a lot of kisses and hugs, I said goodbye to Rob, Sannie, Dith, Drops, Fox (who left before we arrived at the beach). Lisa and Han took me to the airport (thanks so much girls).after a very sentimental hug I said bye to Lisa and a minutes later to Han. At 23:00 I arrived Portugal and my amazing trip was over. Looking forward to my next time in Holland...

Adeus!!!!
