Maria & Brett's HUGE Trip 06-07-08-09-? ok, so the Socceroos lost in 'that' penalty against Italy; Adriatic summers aren't long enough (bliss!); and we found that you should never use the term "Eastern Bloc" when talking to a Czech (Central Europe, please).

World Cup - Aus v Italy

GERMANY | Saturday, 24 June 2006 | Views [445]

German locals showing their support for Australia. This sight was more the norm than the exception. We felt that the whole town of Kaiserslautern was behind the Socceroos, and many friendships and much respect between the two nations were formed on that day by Aussies and locals alike.

Leaving small village of Wilferdingen-Singen in the morning on the way to Kaiserslautern. Spreading the Aussie cheer, but all we got were fixed stares of bewilderment from the locals!

On the way from the town up the hill towards the stadium. An exciting and festive pilgrimage. Actually, I don't remember walking there; more swept along by the atmosphere and good wishes by the locals.
