which bus company???

i was going to get an interrail pass - but that would work out cheaper only if i didnt use any buses or airplanes.

This should be a good concert. Sisters are the first major band to visit the 2nd largest city in Bosnia (over 200,000). Expect a lot of fans as well as people just being there for the event. It's a cool city with lots of trees, and there is a dramatic canyon nearby, just south of the city (although you wouldn't know it as it's pretty flat to the north of it). Check out http://www.bl.ac.yu/banjaluka/e/grad.html (and go to the photo gallery).

As far as getting back to Germany, it all depends on how much you're willing to pay.

You can catch a bus to Zagreb and fly from there to Germany. Zagreb is only 180km from Banja Luka (and it's only a 2 hour drive). Belgrade is about 330km (4 hours).

Or, there is definitely a direct bus service to Vienna, and some places in germany. Bus to Vienna takes about 8 hours. Visit www.eurolines.com. It's not the easiest site to navigate though.

Did it burn, perchance?

I'm gone.

But obviously I concur with Mr Fiend's post.

Can't have been too bad, thankfully, if it could be rescheduled so quickly.

that's a shame

_emma_ · 21 Jun 2006, 10:13

I'm so sorry for all the people who went there, especially those from far away.

But hey, it's a beautiful country, so I hope it's an OK trip anyway.

Badlander · 21 Jun 2006, 10:28

Let's be positive : only one gig canceled this year out of more than 60, and all that despite early surgery, some cracked ribs and a f**ked voice.
Not too bad.

And a crashed truck. And visits to some rather dangerous places. Not bad indeed.

I keep telling ya all : Paris is not a dangerous place !

This is all some anti-French media conspiracy.

Or maybe you mean Vegas ?

jenzi-benzi · 22 Jun 2006, 11:58

Yesterday we were at Banja Luka and talk to some local guy there. The problem was that on 22nd to 24th there will be a big local festival in this castle. So there was an alternate place on the list (a sports hall) but it was rejected by the Sisters. What kind of alternative to a 400 year old castle located at the river...... now I can understand the circumstances. But nevertheless the promoter isnt very well informed... a freak

Ozpat · 24 Jun 2006, 15:01

What a shame. Especially for fans who didn't see the girls perform before.
on this tour or, even worse, ever.
