Good to hear you enjoyed it.
Fecking freezing here today. 2G + negative test needed for 1880 match tonight vs Mannheim. Only 3K allowed in. I think the sub zero temps , light snow and wind will keep the number lower.

So I went ahead with my trip to Berlin after all and have just landed back at Dublin Airport.

Had a great time at the markets that did go ahead at Alexanderplatz, RotesRathaus (just a few minutes walk), Gendarmenmarkt and Zoologischer Garten. All of them really busy but strangely not all of them (Alex) required 2g proof and not all of them had staff reminding people to wear face masks. Apart from that, it was just like pre-pandemic. Glad I did the trip. Thumbs Up

the stereotypical view of germans is that they follow laws/guidelines strictly why so the poor vaccine uptake ?
I heard its mainly East Europeans due to communist era

A big chunk of the non vaccinated in Ireland are Eastern European also. After so many years under communism there's a massive distrust of the people in power. The amount of anti immigration videos and anti vaccine propaganda I've seen reposted by some of them is hilarious because the info they spread is so wrong. One lad thinks by 2050 the majority of Europe will be Muslims.

Any link? I read Merkel's husband called the unvaccinated lazy Germans on Monday. Certainly went against the stereotype LOL

Hamburg numbers are not so bad at the moment. Markets are open currently in Berlin .
Also reports that Aachen markets are opened


Sound, think we will make a decision next week.. If no restrictions and were able to get into the stadium we will go. If stadium capacity is down we will probably skip the trip. As with everything lately, we'll see LOL

I'm going ahead with my trip to Berlin this Friday now after it was looking like a lost cause last weekend. Hopefully no last minute problems.

Will see if there is any news on Leverkusen site.
They are at home tomorrow.

Not looking good. Next week Bavaria will head back into more restricted times. Clubs / Bars closed. Restaurants opened till 10pm. Reduced capacity. 25% at football. No Xmas markets.

Likely other federal states will follow suit.
Between this and Austria going into full-on lock down, I've already decided to knock my Berlin trip on the head. Just not worth the hassle. Cry

There's a lad in my office who is meant to be going to the Celtic game v Bayer Leverkusen next week along with 100-odd others from West Belfast but they don't know if they will get to go over either.

Fook it anyway! I was really looking forward to this after not being able to go last year. CryCryCry

Not sure if the situation will change but at the moment you look ok. However numbers are climbing quickly all over Germany. Parliament mtg today and the expectation is for further restrictions to be outlined possibly from tomorrow.

Anyway (German) it says they will open only for fully vaccinated or recovered (2G). If you see 3G it means that a negative test is also sufficient. However nearly everywhere is moving to the more restrictive 2G

The latest info I could fine in English


Sound man, thanks for that. Keep updating here if you don't mind. 👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
