Stockholm wasn't that bad.
I reckon Vienna would have been my favourite but after getting ruined in Budapest on the Sunday night didn't make it out on the monday

I walked from Stockholm City (Normmalm) to Solna Stadium for the craic. It's about four miles.
When the sun was still up, the temperature wasn't too bad.
After sunset, I felt like Tom Crean. Couldn't feel my hands or nuts in the final 30 minutes. I think it was -9C.
The stadium was very impressive, but queueing for trains in a frozen concrete jungle afterwards took an hour.
Very expensive place.....
Burger King Bacon Double Cheeseburger Meal - €11
Gillette Mach 3 razor with three blades - €17
Bottle of Tiger Beer and House Red Wine - €14
I caught an express train from Stockholm to Gothenburg to visit some friends.
Stunning scenery en route. Lakes, rolling fields, forests, etc. The Swedes were out walking their dogs or walking on the frozen lakes. Very healthy-looking people.

Why were you buying razors? You know you can take a safety razor (mach 3, fusion, whatever) on a flight in your hand luggage, right?

Really, Dave? I thought razor blades remained a definite "no no" after September 11th.
When did the rules change? I recall having safety blades confiscated at the x-ray scanner, but I could purchase the same product thirty seconds later in the airport shops? I didn't shell out the €17. I got a pack of crude disposables for €5.

Cologne
Stockholm Dublin Love Germany and the Germans. Had great craic in a pub 10 minutes walk from the stadium before and after the match with the Germanys Rhineland supporters club. Decided to head there as we knew the queue for the tram would be mad. Every time I go there I have a wonderful time. Had a great time in Sweden. Knew it would be pricey but planned it well and didn't in the end spend a whole lot. Thanks in large part to kellys. The Swedes do things right and are straight laced and this is very much not what the irish are. I guess that's why a lot didn't like it. ...and Dublin. Well it's always great to get home to Ireland. *in terms of friendlies it would be england, oman and wales in that order. Edited by colemanY2K - 23 Oct 2013 at 8:50pm |

1. Belgrade
2. Cologne 3. Vienna 4. Stockholm 5. Cardiff 6. London (England) 7. London (Oman) Live in London so those 'trips' didn't have the same feel as other away trips for me, although England away was much better than Oman away. Loved the beer festival in Belgrade but NVidic always going on about it has dampened the memories a bit

1. Sweden. Prob had the most craic in Stockholm tbh. Was much different than what we were used to. Traveling support was great and optimism was still on a real high. Kellys was a good spot too, tho alot of the other places were bollox. Only bad point was the stadium being in middle of knowhere and the whole drink/offo thing. Money wise was grand cos id free accommodation and got cheap flights early and i didnt mind the baltic weather much
...or it all could of been the absolute stunner I went back with match night 2. Austria. Mental few days. Started out in Bratislava on the Sat. Absolute dive of a place Not that we cared with the price of everything. Slabs of cans for under a tenner! Had a good wander around the city drinking, climbed the castle and ended up on a bit of a crawl, tho was dead by 12/1 both nights. Train up to Vienna, more cans, even more craic. City itself was lovely. Spent a few hours each day jus having a look around, went to the miltary museam and stuff. Charlie P's, was another good spot. Night before and day of the match was hopping, not so much after. Police escort up to the stadium was class. Other than the result, no complaints about the place. Would and prob will be back. 3. England. Only here because it was the only other away I ended up on the year Ahh, was good tho, the aul enemy Was only there for less than 20hrs, but made good use of it. Had a good crawl from Victoria midday to Kingsbury, match, then back in and around leicester sq.. O'Neils(?) comes to mind. Flight home at 7, straight to work next morning |

I suppose when something unusual happens on a trip it makes it memorable
For that reason it has to be Engerland for me
and ...................................................
