Tour de Mendelssohn: Day 11

After 4 days in Scotland, we arrived in Luzern, Switzerland, yesterday.
The last day in Scotland was absolutely amazing. Not only the amount of rain that fell from the sky...
We were up to film the Highlands - Glencoe - that's the region where the "Harry Potter" filmings were done. And Glencoe is said to be the most impressive "Glen" (Schlucht/Tal) in the country. And I've got to admit, though I don't know the other parts, it must be true. Of course *ha-ha*, it kept on raining all the day, but somehow this made the whole thing more impressive. The waterfalls falling from the huge cliffs, then the wind blown rain, and also water on the ground ... There was water everywhere, in and from every direction. It was some kind of a "power spot" where you could feel that all the water on this planet is connected. 水神様に会ってきたみたい!(like meeting a water god!) It's no wonder Felix Mendelssohn was deeply impressed by this landscape.
Besides … I still have to controll myself very very hard not to kill anybody. Well, actually …there's only one person I want to kill.
Another thing that saved me the last days – at least when we were in Leipzig – was our driver. He is quite amazed about this crew as well, I think. (And thinking of how many teams from Japan he’s drived so far...) He really rescues me with his nasty Berlin tongue. („Ey, dann soll halt Frau Kack mit ihren beiden Pinguinen alleene zum Flughafen fahrn, det is mir sowat von ejal!) I'm really looking forward to seeing him again when we're back in continental Europe. Generally, the whole crew is nice and absolutely funny. Our producer (big boss) is sometimes not easy as he works in an intuitive, spontaneous way (Japanese say "he's an about-kind of person), but most of the time we know how to handle it, and the pictures and storytelling is good, I think.
So, tomorrow's coming up: Switzerlands amazing "Heidi landscape"! (hopefully … when the fu*peeeeep* internet in this fu*bpeeeep* hotel works)
