DAY 20
After lunch and coffe with Morten and Jill (and
after taking some silly pictures to accompany this diary!) we set
off for Oslo. It's only 198 kms from Skien to Oslo but it took us
three hours because now we have the trailer on the people carrier
and the roads are very mountainous and narrow. But we had plenty
of time to stop for a "mystery" sausage and coffee.
Yatta called from the club and told us to take a taxi and follow
it to the venue because he had no idea how to direct us… The
Rock In is right in the centre of town. And you can't park there
either!
On the way to Oslo I had to wonder at how beautiful Norway is. Lots
of mountains and lakes and because it was a bright sunny day it
looked even more spectacular. Of course, as I was driving, the guys
encouraged me not to spend too much time sight-seeing!!!!
The club was quite tiny and the stage was about the size of a stamp
so the crew had quite a challenge but they pulled it off and we
settled down for sound check which went fairly smoothly. We are
so lucky to have such a good crew and I want to mention Yatta, John
and Ade specially and to thank them for their great teamwork.
This was the first of two shows at this club and everyone was quite
relaxed and looking forward to the show. Again we had such a great
crowd and Martin showed up in the middle of the set which lifted
us a little bit more.
After lots of signing and hand-shaking (with my left hand of course!)
we set out to try and find some food. The best we could do was Burger
King and I should know better than to eat that stuff at 1:30 in
the morning! Oh well… a lesson learned.
Next day...
