PARIS
We
arrived in
Paris
today. It's
the start of our two-week European press tour.
After a couple of hours waiting at the
airport for our luggage, we were off in a small
van (small van, large luggage) to our fabulous
hotel. |
|
|
 |
Of
course our rooms weren't ready, so we all went for
a nice brisk, LONG walk down the Champs-Elysees
to the Louvre. |
|
|
 |
It
was a beautiful cold day and the old Parisian
buildings looked like wedding cakes! |
|
|
|
Trying to avoid the onset of jet lag, we are ready
to go out again into the streets of Paris and WAKE
UP! It's
great to be back here again.
Tomorrow will be a day full of press and
TV. We'll
let you know how it's going in a few days....
Bye
for now.

GERMANY
Hey
there,
Well,
it's been a while since I've written, as our
schedule in
Germany
has been incredibly busy.
The response to "Something That You
Said" has been AMAZING!
Next week, it will be CD of the Week on all
major radio stations in
Germany
! Pretty
f#%*@ing amazing!!
Actually,
I've been sick since we first came to
Germany
on the 17th, so it's been a bit difficult dealing
with that aspect.
We've done many interviews and a few TV
shows. We came to
Berlin
on the 17th from
Paris
. It
was cold and snowy, which was kind of cool since I
haven't seen snow in AGES!
On Tues. the 18th, we had loads of
interviews to do, PLUS an acoustic performance on
the radio.
|
|
|
 |
Then
we went to a really fascinating doll shop to do an
interview. There
were some truly scary dolls!!
But it was quite magical walking into that
shop with the snow falling around us.
Also,
it's quite incredible that the area it was in used
to be
East Berlin
. I
hadn't been there since the mid-Eighties with the
Bangles. It's
quite a different place here now.
|
 |
On
the 19th I felt REALLY ill after having traveled 3
hours late in the evening by van to
Hamburg
. I
had a fever, but still managed to get the energy
up to do an acoustic performance.
However, after that I had some much needed
sleep while the other girls did more interviews.
Then, we flew to
Cologne
(Köln). We
stayed at a converted water tower which was
fascinating.
It's one of those kinds of hotels that look
brilliant, but aren't very comfortable or
practical. The
next day (20th) was another very busy one.
We had a lot of interviews and another
acoustic performance.
I was feeling a bit better, but sounded
congested! We
also did a performance on the German TOP OF THE
POPS show.

All
in all it was a very long day and by the time we
did the live radio show (Einslive)
at the end of the evening, we were exhausted and a
bit brain dead. It's been pretty hard being away
from my son, especially because he's been quite
sick at home.
I didn't think I'd miss him as much as I
do!! But,
I've been able to talk to him and my husband, so
that helps. Also,
knowing that my son is feeling better now also
makes this a bit more bearable.
On
the 21st, we flew back to
Berlin
and had more interviews (not as many).
Mainly, we rehearsed for the TV show WETTEN
DASS and that took up quite a bit of time.
After that, we went back to the hotel and
had a nice dinner. Today, the 22nd,
has been quite easy.
I got a chance to work out at the gym (with
my manager, Jennifer) and relax a bit, plus put
this down on paper.
I only had a couple of interviews and then
we go later to tape the WETTEN DASS show. Poor
Vicki is feeling awful now.
So she's having a quiet day.
Michael
's been shopping, and Susanna had a great workout
this morning too.
We all had a light day today with
interviews. We fly to
London
tomorrow and are there ‘til the 28th or March
1st. It'll
be nice to stay in the same place for a few days. |
 |
Germany
's been great, though.
Much better than I
remembered.
The people have been wonderful and our
record company has done a stellar job with
everything! We
are very happy about the response to our record!
It's quite exciting.
Nice to be back.... Anyway, I will write
again when we get to the land of tea!
Bye!
Debbi
