After spending a few nights in Zurich which, although expensive, is a nice city situated on a huge lake which we attempted to ride round but found it was just too big. We did as the locals were doing and lounged by the lake after a refreshing swim. Flew ... Read more >

One argument we have every now and then (usually after we have had a few) is a question of what team you support. Most people would think that you would support the team of the country you come from but we have found people who do not. One girl we met ... Read more >

While I wait for some photos to upload I thought I'd try and remember a few things to share. One of the funniest, at least from Adam B and my point of view was when Adam P had his match ticket for the Brazil-Ghana game lifted from his pocket. We were ... Read more >

One thing that I have seen here that was hilarious was the day we all went on the pub crawl of the beer gardens and 300 of us at a time tried to pack onto a two carriage tram. The people on the tram did not know what had hit them. One packed in like sardines ... Read more >

It's been a few days since my last blog and far to much to go over now or even recall as things are a bit blurry right now. Yesterday was just amazing. No words or pictures would do it justice. Yes, I did manage to get tickets, as did everyone else. What ... Read more >

The flight was a shocker. It's been a while since I have done a long haul flight and I feel like I have been cramped in a box for 24 hrs. Not to mention my in flight TV monitor did not work. Great, just what I needed. As we decended into Frankfurt ... Read more >
