Hello to everyone, hi Jens!

My name is Gianluca and I live in Genoa, Italy; I am 36 and I am a massive fan of Thule since I have listened to their music for the first time back in 1991. Listening to their music made me love Norway; the way Thule play took me up to the land where they live.

I liked so much their unique style and their immense feeling that I felt almost compelled to think to a trip to Norway, the land they so amazingly portray with their music. Unfortunately I wasn't able to leave for ten years but my passion for Thule stayed the same through all the time.Then I had the opportunity to make this trip to Norway and obviously Honningsvag and North Cape were on top of my list. What an intense travel ! I made the trip by plane (from Genoa to Munich then Oslo then Tromsoe and finally Honningsvag!) but what a feeling when the small aircraft landed on the little air field of Honningsvag! When I saw the fjord and the roaring sea below I had shivers down my spine...

Then there was Honningsvag. I love that small town it's absolutely beautiful, it's the place I dreamed of so many times...and there I was.The sky, the harbour, the houses, the fishing boats, all reminded me of Thule and obviously I began to look for them. I have to say that I send an E-mail to Peer announcing my arrival so it was easy for me to find them. But what a fantastic welcome !! I first met Hugo Barbala then Peer and they invited me to a rehearsal they made just for me !! It was really a dream come true !! They played a lot of new fantastic songs then an incredible "Marsketi" from "Natt" and some beautiful tracks from "Frostbrent".

I really don't know how to thank them for this incredible present ! They were so kind and friendly and I will always be grateful for the emotions they gave me that night. Then I left Honningsvag, Thule, the beauty of North Cape and I took the Hurtigruten boat south bound. It was an incredible cruise, I loved every minute of it and I think Norway and northern Norway in particular is the most beautiful land in the world. Those silent and solitary landscapes and those villages amongst the fjords took my heart.

I left my heart in Norway and surely I will be back as soon as possible.
