Anyone in the Goffel Kolsch pub on the Thursday night with the piano man? We were talking to him for a bit afterwards and he was a big old communist, pretty much. Sound all the same.

Actually, I should give a hat tip to the ICE trains for Germany and the fact they served proper beer in proper glasses for about the same price as the pubs. €4.20 for 500ml bottle of Franziskaner, which is decent and certainly less than you pay in pubs here.

how did you get on on the trains home Dave? We only had to train to Amsterdam but was saying to the lads on the train I don't know how you would travel back to Holyhead on trains after a few days like that on the beer

Vienna for me was my best trip this year. Spent few days in Budapest (were panteirA inducted me to east kerry one direction supporters club ) and then Vienna was good Charlie ps was perfect for meet ups

Would put cologne next as was a good trip were I got to meet a lot people of this and can never complain when can buy a bottle of jäger for €13.50. First fans game I've made it to as well

England away was great trip as well but as it was only a friendly cant put it ahead of the others. The crac we had in the clink hostel that night was great and daboi, deco and myself discovered corona and strawberry daiquiri makes a good combination
the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4

I didn't, I took the train to Frankfurt on Saturday evening and then flew from there. I walked in the door at home just before midnight on Saturday.

Edit: went out overland. Dublin to Brussels on Wednesday, one night there, Cologne on Thursday, obv two nights there and flight home. Total cost of boats, trains and flights was €52 + €59 + €68 = €179.

Agree that Germany was up there with the best. That said, the trip out to the stadium was horrendous and dangerous.
 
Some great craic in a few of the bars and the local Kolsh and Alt beers were superb. Stayed Saturday night in Dusseldorf and the place was hopping mad.
 
My order inc friendlies
 
1. Faroes - because it had to be done
2. Kazakhstan - good to go before they allow people to live there
3. Germany - beer and steaks
4. Austria - Fritz the tour guide
5. Budapest - cheap
6. Cardiff - easy for work
 
52. Stockholm - god forbid that you might want to enjoy yourself.

Cologne for me by a distance. Savage spot. Honourable mentions to Stockholm and Kazakhstan.
