007 Travelers arrived in Naantali, which is a city in south-western Finland.
We traveled by Onnibus from Helsinki to Turku, price 4 euros / person, duration 2h 5 min. From Turku we took a taxi to Naantali Spa, it was 32 euros. (17 km)
Naantali Spa Hotel is situated by the waterfront in the Finnish Archipelago, less than 1 km from Naantali town centre.
Naantali Spa had "Naantali Spa Goes Hollywood" theme week which culminated on 6th of February 2016: James Bond day.
In the lobby the customers could take photographs of themselves as James Bond and Marilyn Monroe. 007 Travelers did that too.
The Hollywood theme was seen in the lobby and the reception.
This day was all about James Bond: Aston Martin DB9 in the lobby, 007 traveling presentation, exhibition and lottery by 007 Travelers and a wonderful Bond dinner and great show of Club For Five! The event was well pre-promoted in the media and it was sold out!
At least newspaper Turkulainen, STT Info, Naantalin matkailu, Kauppalehti and Eventsbook.net promoted this event as well as did 007 Travelers here.
Let´s take a look how was the evening and the hotel!
Bond fans noticed Aston Martin DB9 in the lobby and it was stunning!

We were guided to our table which was in front of the stage, that was very well organized. The table´s setting was beautiful and we found our menu on the table.
We ordered wine packages (29 euros / person) that included wine for every dish. White wine for starter, red wine for main course and a dessert wine for dessert. This show & dinner was scheduled as follows: Show, starter, show, main course, show, dessert, show.

| Club For Five |
It was time for the show of this evening:
Club For Five is a A cappella band, which means that music is specifically group or solo singing without instrumental accompaniment. They are: Maija Sariola, Susanna Lukkarinen, Jouni Kannisto, Juha Viitala and Tuukka Haapaniemi. Since Susanna Lukkarinen is now on maternity leave, Eeppi Ursin replaces Susanna for now.
Find Club For Five website here.
The show started at 19.15: the band started with "James Bond Theme" (1962), then we heard "GoldenEye" (1995) and "Skyfall" (2012).
Then we had our starter, which was Grilled sugarsalted salmon, poached egg "GoldenEye" and Mousseline sauce, with white wine "Preussens Gloria Feinherb" 12cl.
The band came back at 20.05 and performed "From Russia with Love" (1963), and a jazz version of "You Only Live Twice" (1967). They also sang "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997) as well as "Casino Royale"´s (2006) theme song "You Know My Name". That was awesome!

Then was time for our dessert: Cherry-white chocolate cake and cherry compote, with dessert wine "Beerenauslese Exquisit", 8cl.

Then was time for little improvisation: In the audience was a couple who was celebrating their wedding day. The band asked the man about his wife, her name and how is her character like. Also the audience defined the genre and style of music: It was rap and march. The wife´s name is Eija, she likes karaoke and her husband said she is conscientious and diligent. With this information, Club For Five improvised a "Dangerous Love Song" for them! It was great!
Then the band performed the theme from "Austin Powers" film and we also heard how they performed instrument solos with their voices. Wow!
