Baku 2012 - Day 2

Monday - 14 May 2012:

Last night we finished the first day of the single rehearsals and left the Press Centre at 2200 hours for some food outside at the boulevard of Baku. Very nice atmosphere.  Then home.
In the photo see the Christal Hall at night time. Impressive. More pics on JP's Facebook Album.

And today after along trip by public transport and loads of walking in the hot sun with 35 degrees C I made it and when I reached my team we also received a phone call to interview Izabo from Israel which we are working on right now and you find it a bit later on in this blog.

Watch below a little video clip from the Baku and The Chrystal Arena by night:
