Watch out Europe...We're Back!!!

Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 8:28 AM By: Howie D

Hello everybody!!  Howie here - writing to you from Oslo Norway!  Its Friday here and we have almost been out on the road for two weeks. Europe has been awesome. We started out in Germany but because of the schedule I didn't get a chance to do as much sightseeing as I would have liked. When we got to Amsterdam...it was time to party! Nick and I had our own floor at the hotel and we had a chance to get out to a few local spots to have fun...needless to say we were up pretty late! Its such a beautiful city and the people were really cool.  The next place I had a chance to get out was Copenhagen.  There are really cool restaurants on the water there and got a chance to check out where the royal family lives. Some of the shopping streets were closed off so that you could walk through without traffic. The streets were all cobblestone.  I took some video which I will definitely try to get to you asap. Today it was actually snowing when we got to Oslo. I thought it was pretty cool since I dont see much snow in the states...only when I'm snowboarding!  Had a chance to get out today for a bit before the show as well and went to a couple museums.  I tried to see the large cathedral in town but unfortunately it was closed for renovations. I wish we could stay in Oslo tonight because the nightlife here is cool but we have to do a quickout after the show.  Its a super long drive to Stockholm. Tomorrow is a day off in Sweden!!!! I love Sweden and can't wait to hang out. I will give you an update soon. Hope to see all of you out on the road!!  Howie D.

    Hi Howie,

    thanks for a great show last night! It was a pity you had to leave so soon but better luck next time. I was one of the girls in the first row after having a superb time during the soundcheck. I hope you will contiune offering VIP-tickets for sale. We sure got what we paid for and even more!

    Which museums did you visit during your stay in Oslo? It's a shame about the cathedral. If I remember right, it opens again next year. Have you checked out the fortress yet? In a few months The Royal Palace opens as well. And why not take a Winter holiday in the mountains? Be sure to check out Dovrefjell. The scenery is spectacular.

    Stay in touch.

    Hey hon,
    Thanks for the update and I'll definitely be waiting for the videos because, I’m excited to see what you enjoyed first hand. Howie, you didn’t get a lot of sightseeing of Germany however, what little did you see?
    Are we going to have the chance to see a bit of the restaurants in the water that you mention, in the videos that you’ll soon be posting? They sound really cool and I would love to see it. Also you mentioned that in Oslo you had the chance to visit museum I hope we have the chance to see in the videos too. Hmmm, you mentioned too that you went to the Cathedral but it was closed. I hope you capture it in video the outside of the Cathedral; because, I’m really interest in seeing architecture of the outside of it, and maybe someday we get to see the inside when you finally go when they’re open.

    Hugs and kisses Jackie
    Ps. I cannot wait to see and the boys on tour in the USA

    Hello Howie,
    Just joined the fan club today - we (my daughter and I) were at the concert in Copenhagen the day before yesterday. Wonderful as usual. No-one is too old to love your music (I am 51). My daughter (21) has been a fan for ten years. We went to our first BSB concert when she was 11! And the one on April 11 was our fourth!
    Your music and your performances just get better and better, but it would have been nice if there had been a giant screen ;-). Good luck with everything - and big hugs to all you lovely guys - Sally Ann
