Yeah legged it back to the hotel across a green. The cops on the door let us back in with a jovial hello. Thick f**ks we were.

few of us went into the city centre one of the days and just strolled around for hours, having a random beer here and there. Spent hours just strolling, it was great. We hailed a taxi and it took ages to get back to the hotel. Driver had excellent English and had studied abroad. Got back and he charges us about half of what the other lads charged for about 3 times the journey if not more. We kept his number and rang him from then on.

I know you support the Netherlands anyway if Ireland isn't involved.   It's not a test btw

With the few quid we saved on the away trips, more than a plan
