GaryWood34 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Anyone doing anything other than drinking beer and watching football when over there? A tour? tourist activity? Gig? another sports event perhaps? Anyone got any non football plans, where and when? I’m kidding myself that I may make some and not just sit and watch 3 matches a day in a German beer garden and attend the Scotland ones.

PSJ84 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Likely visit Dachau when we’re in Munich. Have been before but a few others in our group haven’t and want to make up for not going to Auschwitz when we were in Krakow. Beyond that, not a clue.

I went in the summer and it was freezing cold up there. Unbelievably went to the restuarant up there and the first guy i met was a guy from Glasgow wearing a Celtic shirt who was working in the kitchens. 😅😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Waiting to see what other tickets I get, but our accommodation just south of Bonn has bikes, and we are right on the Rhine, so plan to cycle up and down it on my down time. Booked a couple of tours on TripAdvisor for Cologne and Dusseldorf (pub crawl tours around breweries etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry89 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Heading to Bamberg after the Hungary game for a couple of days. Applied for a few random tickets in the 2nd UEFA ballot so holding off planning much else until the outcome of that but will make use of the Deutschland ticket and get some regional trains for daytrips on days we aren't playing. Hoping the games being 3pm, 6pm and 9pm means I won't miss many of them travelling about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryWood34 Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Had a shocker in Georgia. Went for a sulfur bath after checking out my hotel prior to a 35 hour day and a 20 hour journey home. The whole way home boaking hungover and stinking of horrendous sulfur. No amount of showering, scrubbing or deodorant was shifting it. Had visions of it being a relaxing experience but it was just me and several hairy out of shape Georgian naked men in a small tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfieMoon Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Any tennis fans out there, the grass court season will be underway. On the men’s side Stuttgart finishes the weekend of the Germany game. Then the Berlin (women’s) and Halle (men’s) kicks in the following week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those would be good, but wrong part of the country for me. If you’re taking a game in in Leipzig though, Halle, is worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Heading to Kaiserslautern with 5 of my mates for a day trip the day on the friday before we play Hungary. We are based in Essen so 3 hours or so each way on the train. Just going for a day on the booze. Tons of Killie fans are staying in Kaiserslautern as a base as they go over regularly to watch them (and vice versa) so there's about 50 based there. Great lads the K-Town boys, they've given the lads their supporters bus for the games in Munich. Cologne & Stuttgart.
