The Love Tour - Glasgow & Aberdeen

Ok so here's the longer version =)

Glasgow
April 5th:
Flew to Glasgow... Or actually, we flew to Stockholm, then London, changed airport and then flew to Glasgow so we were at 5 diffrent airports in one day. When we got to Glasgow it was around 11pm so we went to our hotel to get some sleep. The hotel receptionist could barley keep himself from laughing when he realized why we were there. At first he thought we were there for some dancing competition but well yeh, Westlife is a much better reason! Anways, was very nice to get some sleep =)

April 6th:
Walked around town to see if we could find the hotel where Westlife were staying. Instead we found McFly, random. They were in a hurry so we didn't get any pics or anything. After a while we realized where Westlifes hotel were and that it wasn't worth paying for a taxi to get there so instead we went to the arena so that we knew what it looked like. Was very dissapointed! We thought that it'd be the cool thing that lookes like the opera house in Sidney but it wasn't. It was the building right next to it, which looked like a garage or something like that. It also looked like it was built just for that concert and that they were going to demolish it afterwards. Later at night when it was time to go in, well, can't say the arena looked better inside! First support act was the unconventionals *no comment* and after them it was time for the MacDonald Bros. They were sooo funny =) The concert was just as good as at Wembley and our 3rd row seats didnt make it worse haha! Gillian, Nicole and Kevin were out looking at the concert sometimes. Nicole is so cute =)

April 7th:
Walked around town windowshopping all day. Had 2nd row tickets at the concert this night. Wasn't as good seats as the night before but still amazing =) Saw Dave walking around in the crowd haha! Anyways, Shane and Mark missed a few lines which was very funny and just before Mandy Nicky said it was time for Brians all time fave song... yeh right! Haha!!

April 8th:
Walked around town again, was getting a bit boring now. So instead we decided to stand outside the VIP entrance at SECC. Had so much fun waiting (even though it was cold)!! Met the MacDonald Bros and told them to come to Sweden some time. Then Nicky came... I felt sooo ashamed! Everyone was screaming like... well I don't know actually but I havn't heard anything like it since 2002. I was so angry at myself for being right in the middle of all those screaming people and even more since Nicky noticed us so me and Lisa decided to go in instead of waiting for the others. Wouldn't want to go through that again! The concert was once again amazing! Mark fell in the stairs once (mwahahaha) and Kian told us that he only had a kinder egg but he was still happy. A little while later Shane started talking to a fan and Kian didn't really like that since there was alot of other people at the concert so he started burping haha =)

April 9th:
No Westlife concert this night so instead we saw Sugababes. Wasn't really fair on them to see the concert right in the middle of a Westlife tour. Their show was good but we were so used to seeing Westlife so I think Sugababes would have been better to see some other time.

Aberdeen
April 10th:
Took the bus to Aberdeen. Which took about 3½h... a bit too long! At first Aberdeen was as bad as Sheffield was last year. We couldn't find a thing. Walked around about an hour trying to find our hotel, only problem was the we were looking in the wrong side of town. But since we're so proud we didn't have a map, I mean, we wouldn't want to look like tourists. But since we really couldn't find our hotel we went to the tourist information and asked. After that it was very easy to find =) And all of a sudden it wasn't at all like Sheffield. We also asked how to get to the arena... and we had to take the bus :( It really was too far away to walk. Anyways, we went to our hotel and when we checked in the receptionist told us that the MacDonald Bros was staying at the same hotel. Was very surprised that she told us! A little while later when we were walking around town I told Lisa how funny it would be if MacDonald Bros had a signing at HMV. About 2sec later we saw a few people walking out from HMV with autographs. So we walked in and ofcourse the MacDonald Bros had a signing, random! Didn't find Westlifes hotel in Aberdeen either (suckiness!) so we went to the arena instead. Saw when Kian arrived but can't say that it was very exciting. The arena was just as bad (or maybe even worse) as SECC. Some of the seats was outside of the actuall room where the concert was... if that's possible... anyway it was weird! And we were supposed to have front row but instead we had 2nd since we had all dissabled people infront of us. I really didn't mind but I still think the ticket should've said 2nd row and not 1st! This concert was the best ever, but I don't think the boys were too happy about it. Both Shane and Mark had some problems with their microphones. I couldn't really hear it but they talked to Grubby a few times so I guess there must have been something. But the funn parts was that Kian fell in the medley, Shane forgot the lyrics in You Raise Me Up. Not to mention the intro to World Of Our Own. It was a total mess! I'm not really sure what happened but Nicky didn't do the same dance as the others and the band didn't play what the lads thought they were playing when they started danceing. All 4 of them saw our flag and Shane laughed at us in Picture of you, very funny =) But the best thing was that the absolute last thing that happned was that both Nicky and Mark put their thumbs up for us =)

April 11th:
Last concert. For once I bought some merch. Was going to buy the Nicky T-shirt but they only had it in L and XL so I bought the 4 colour T-shirt instead. 5th row right in the middle which I think was our best seats this tour =) Got some really good pics haha
