the lights of Cologne

Yesterday I went to Cologne to see a spectacular fireworks show over the river Rhine. I did not know what to expect but what I saw was just magnificent.
at 10.30pm a part of the show started as ships were crossing over the Rhine while the music was playing Vangelis' Conquest of Paradise. All the visitors which were about 600 000 all in all had gather near the river or over the bridges and everybody was holding a candle. WOW! this was so magic and special.
One hour later the firework show started which lasted about half an hour. the fireworks were started from the ships and it was accompanied by music. (Robbie Williams-Let me entertain you, Abba-Thank your for the music, Queen-Mama, Tina Turner-Simply the best, Elton John-Circle of Life, Sarah Brightman& Andrea Bocelli-Time to say Goodbye)
The fireworks were awesome and so touching together with the music. Sometimes rackets even formed hearts in the sky! It was so romantic I can just recommend it to everybody to go there next year!!!!
