Hey guys,

I am back home from Bamberg and thought I would write a - this time 
shorter - review for you all.

Well, I went to Bamberg by train with a friend. We arrived there at 
3pm, so we unfortunately missed the soundcheck. But who could guess 
Chris would do it so early!!!! Anyway, when we arrived in Bamberg 
it was raining. So we prayed for better weather and made our way to 
the centre of the town in order to meet up with friends there. They 
came from Nuremburg to see us. :-) We walked up to the Dom 
(cathedral) and our friends showed and explained a whole lot to us. 
And suddenly... the sun began to shine! What a luck! Well, we found 
out that the soundcheck had already taken place, so we went off to 
a restaurant in order to have something to eat. At the restaurant 
we met Nugie, Anke, Claudia and a few others. We watched the last 
minutes of the football match and then we went back to the venue to 
see what is happening there. We finally had to separate from our 
friends as they unfortunately had no tickets for the show and 
wanted to go home. :-( What a great pity! But I want to thank !  
Lisa and co. for the great time!!!! :-) I really enjoyed meeting 
you eventually!!!!! :-)

When we entered the venue we saw people sitting on the steps of the 
Dom (cathedral) on the right side of the stage. We didn't have that 
good seats, so we decided to join them. We met a few other 
listmembers there and had a very nice chat! :-) After lots of long 
discussions with the security they finally allowed us to stay there. 
What a day! The security almost went crazy yesterday, I have no clue 
why. So at 8.30pm - half an hour later, because of the football 
match - the show began with 'When Winter Comes' as usual. Chris 
changed a bit in the programme, he didn't only leave out 'Rose Of 
England' and 'Songbird' but also 'It's Such A Long Way Home'. What 
a pity, I absolutely love that song! Anyway, we gave our roses to 
Chris after Sailor which he added to the setlist last night. He 
made a few jokes about Hamburg.... eh Bamberg! ;-) But alltogether 
he didn't joke that much. I think he was feeling a bit cold, well, 
at least he always pretended that he would be freezing. The 'wal!  
king-through-the-audience-part' was much fun for me last night, as 
it was the first time that I stood somewhere at the side where 
Chris walked by. At 'Sailing Away' fans from the left were walking 
to the stage and so we joined them and ended up in the first row 
again, but this time right in the middle. We had lots of fun there, 
dancing and singing with Chris. 
I don't know how he manged it, but at about 10:30 pm he sang 'Snows 
Of New York'. So he was definitely half an hour faster this time. 
So we had the big luck that he didn't go after the last song but 
stayed again for a few more party songs! It was great fun again! 
The show finally ( :-(( ) ended at about 11pm. It was sad to see 
Chris leaving after 2 1/2 hours, but it was good for us, because so 
we had plenty of time to get back to the train station in order to 
catch our last train home. 

We finally arrived back in Berlin at about 7 am and I was home at 
about 8 am. I wanted to go to bed immediately as I didn't sleep 
well in the train, but I had to find out that someone tried to 
steal my car while I was away! :-((((((( They didn't manage it, but 
instead they damaged it. Wow, what a morning! :-( Well, I will go 
to bed now and think of the great concert yesterday! It was really 
worth all the stress we had with going back by train in the night! 
The concert was so brilliant, I am glad that I could be there! I 
hope to see many of you soon again! :-)

Have a nice day!!

Many greetings from Berlin,

Natalie, who is so curious how the photos will look like. ;-)
