The titlescreen of the movie we just watched is scrolling on the screen. Some people are yawning, others in a deep discussion about the game they love and play and some are just making smalltalk. “Nearly there”, the busdriver says to one of the Packers that is sitting next to him, looking at the road flashing by, and expensive German-plated Audi’s wooshing past us. Not much later the Intel Pack4DreamHack bus pulls up next to an, considering the time, abandoned supermarket. A Mercedes stands and waits and a big grinned man sits behind the wheel. The door flies open and the first Packers jump out of the bus, lighting a much needed sigaret.
“Barrrrrrrrrry!” one calls, and the big grinned man makes his grin even bigger. It is time to switch busdrivers and some of the experienced Packers greet Barry. He’ll be the one bringing us from this German parkingplace to our end destination. “How was your sleep”, one asks, and in usual Barry-fashion he makes a statement that my editor wouldn’t allow on this website. We laugh and get on with the little break we have before boarding the bus again.
Onwards to Puttgarden, where we will board a boat.
