Kazakhstan was the best for me mainly due to the fact it was such a random destination. 2nd best for me was Germany.

Of the friendlies I travelled to this campaign London was probably my favourite.

I probably would go to Stockholm again but not Kazakhstan, despite the fact I enjoyed Kstan better. It's pretty far and the flights were expensive. Plus, I can imagine it would be much the same the second time round. While I really enjoyed it, I don't think I'll be going back if we draw them next time out.

Enjoyed them all Vienna would edge cologne if only for the weather

Can understand people not liking Stockholm as it was too cold to walk around and bump into people

Think it would be a grand spot with decent weather

And lets not forget the bizarre taxi experience. Stick out the hand, wait for someone to pull over, haggle a bit by shouting "Respublicka" to get to the adidas bar or guns and roses, and then bartering in a currency you don't understand to make sure you get there for less than 1,000 Tenge.

The session with the Hayes clan and Green Forevers mob plus others in Steve's on Saturday night in Amsterdam made the Germany trip a fantastic one.

I only made it to Sweden and Germany this campaign because the Euros absolutely broke me, and not just financially either!
From a footballing point of view, obviously Sweden was way better.
But for the sake of craic, madness and general hilarious hardship Cologne was different class altogether!

The England match was the first friendly I actually enjoyed being at in a long time as well.

Sad not to hear many Cardiff stories, the only night where I stayed and mingled with the Irish fans rather than going straight back home like I did in London - the only possible downside to it for me was I left at 6am so I was well and truly knackered by closing time 3am the next morning!

Might have been the worst game possible but I keep re-watching it as I'm on the Front row and can see myself at nearly every time the action reached the centre circle, decent seat for £15! LOL

Best pub on the trip for me was Charlie Ps. Thought that was a right spot. And you got a glass for your drink. Great craic in it the night before the game.
