Over the next week we moved from Italy to Norway the last leg of the tour. I loved being on tour but being at home was nice it felt like we hadn't been at home for ages the good thing was that in between the shows that were in Italy and the shows in Norway we had about some spare time only about a week but it was a chance for me, Dougie, River and Seb to spend some time together. So we went to Venice. After spending just over a week in Venice it was time to head to Oslo for the start of the shows in Norway.
"Flight 1596 to Oslo now boarding."
"That's us." I said getting up
The others were already in Norway so it was just the 4 of us getting the plane. It was a 12 hour flight we arrived in Oslo the morning of the show at 9:30. Matt, Danny and Harry were there to meet us. Along with about 200 screaming fans.
It took us just over an hour to get past all the screaming fans. When we finally got into the car and headed over to the hotel to dump our thing it was half 11 then we head over to the arena it was 12:30 before we got there.
"Woah look at this." I said walking into the arena
"Yeah stage is going up, they arrived at stupid o clock this morning. The guitars are about an hour away which is great." Danny said as we walk through the arena to the dressing rooms
"There not here yet?" River said looking worried
"Not yet." Danny said
"Oh no!" River said
"What's up babe?" Buzz said
"I want to go over us against the world. I messed it up last time." River said
"There'll be here soon." Danny said
"Yeah, can I jump in the shower?" River said
"Oh yeah come look at these showers." Matt said taking River to the showers to get ready for the show.
River had switched to having a head set.
It was so late in the tour that I didn't see the point but she used the one James uses for Riding my Bike.
"Ready Riv?" I said attaching her in ear pack and to her belt
"Yeah." She said smiling
"Great. Right ready when you are." I said smiling
"Thanks mum." She said
"Your welcome." I said standing back as River walked out on stage She came off stage and the boys went out and did a brilliant show.
"Hey guys we are at our last song." James said there were a lot of boos at this which made me smile
"Could start from the beginning again." Dougie said
"No thanks." Tom said
"Aww." Dougie said hanging his head.
Then year 3000 started and the crowd jumped. The whole arena was jumping it was great to be side stage and watch it.
Year 3000 finished and the boys came off stage had a shower and we headed to the hotel for a couple of drinks. It was 12:30 before I climbed into bed. I slept like a log and was up at 7 for my run with Ash which was nice because I had had a few to many drinks the night before so needed the fresh air.
The rest of the day was spent in the zoo. Seb loved the zoo thankfully he was only missing 2 years of high school so when the tour was completely over he would go in to the middle of year 8 but Seb was very bright and very clever so I know he will be able to catch up with the work really quickly I had been getting work for him to do from the teachers at the school he would be having when the when tour finished. There had been talks about him staying with Jodie whilst me and boys did the last leg of the tour but he wanted to come and I wasn't going to stop him. He was only missing 6 months of year 8 he would go to school about a week after the end of the Easter holidays. Seb wanted to work with animals he loved being around animals. He was completely different to River she want to be famous and travel the world but Seb wanted to go to college and uni and become a vet which was great. So being in a zoo and seeing how it worked was great for him.
The tour was moving really fast before I know it we were in Stavanger. We only had 4 shows left.
"Come on boys" I said
"Coming." They said heading to the stage for the second show in Stavanger
The show was great it was brilliant the crowd looked so good jumping and singing along with the boys.
Before I knew it again we were waking up to catch the plane home.
"Got everything Seb?" I said packing my suit case
"Yeah I think so." Seb said closing his case.
"Good come on." I said Dougie had already gone down to meet the others.
We went down the others were waiting for us.
"Ready?" They said
"Yeah want to go home now." I said
The flight was only 4 hours long.
End of the book. well sort of, I didn't want this one to be so bloody long so I have split it into 2 books. So book 4.
