With us on the ferry was also Arnaud Gillette and his two horses that was also going to
perform at the "Equitainement!" show. Mango was not late to start jumping on Arnaud.
Arnaud and his horses live in the South of France and had at this moment already traveled
several days.
Fonzie had to stay in the trailer when Mango had the luxury of sleeping in the cabin with
our assistant Camilla and me. Mango also got a chance to take a walk around the ferry.
We arrived in Helsinki Wednesday morning. I got to meet the dancers that should participate
in one of my two shows. When we arrived, the press was at the show ground and Fonzie,
Mango and I was on the first page in the news paper Hufvudstadsbladet the day after. We
also had a repetition of how to build the trick course for Fonzie and Mango.
The arena is still empty but behind the curtains there is full activity. All participants are
getting ready for their entrance.

and more . . .
It is hard to be a show artist so Mango and I take a nap at the hotel.
Despite the tough schedule we had time to take a short walk in downtown Helsinki
and attend some social gatherings with the other participants.
On the picture to the left we see Camilla and one of the producers, Elisabet Ehrnrooth.
While Mango had to stay in the cabin, we humans went to the restaurant for an enormous
Christmas dinner on our way back to Stockholm.

December 11th, we are back in Stockholm happy and pleased with a wonderful and joyful trip.
