I forgot about the powered off lift and bats flying around the stairwell of my apartment when I got home each night. Really added to the ambience...



The taxi driver from the stadium to our hotel had 2,700 on the meter, should have been under 1,000, so  I told him I would be back in a second, and asked the hotel for advice, they told me to take down his registration nnumber and tell him the hotel had already called the police, he drove off with the passenger door wide open, at speed and with no money LOL 
I know nothing :-)

Third floor above Three Carrots funny enough...and I only went in there once in the end...
 
Nice apartement inside once you closed the door quickly arriving home...:)

Long old trip from Belgrade to Budapest morning after the game and I was sick as a dog-top 3 all time hangs with numerous toilet trips on the plane!
All in all a great trip and I would definitely go back
Was talking to ya the night of the game bogball about the state of Tryone football LOL no didn't pay any city tax at all payed on arrival few of the other boys got caught with it alright....ya didn't miss much the breakfast was shocking...all in all a good trip bar the odd hospital trip here and there  Tongue

City  tax  was included in ours,taxi driver refused to take 5 of us until i offered him an extra 500,he spent half the journey making videos of us singing,,always looked for the TX on the taxi reg to make sure it was legit,breakfast wasnt up to much,managed the  scrambeled eggs one morning while i was still drunk.

A Taxi driver told the father there's 2000 dodgy taxis out of a total of 10-12k in Belgrade. Fortunately I knew from reading on here only to get a taxi with tx at the end of the plate.

Only took one taxi while we were there back to the airport  as got a lift on the way in , anyway in the end now our hotel said the fare would be close to 2000 so kind of shocked when it was only 1300 , but was asked for 5000 on the way home after the match with Hickster and NR , poor NR nearly fainted Shocked

Ah good man bannerboy I mind that rightly we had a good wee yarn or two!! Less said about the hospital trips the better I'd say
Good enough wee spot the Tash was, if I got that every away trip I'd be happy
