Its sods law that wherever you go in the world there will be a twat or too and the odds are that you WILL encounter them at some point.We did just that after about 10 minutes in Germany. Upon arriving at passport control Baz was asked by the guy at the desk if he knew about Germany's 4-0 win over England in the recent under 21 European championship final? after replying no i was asked if i knew the reason why Germany has three stars on there shirt, again i just smiled and nodded whiles thinking prick!
once outside the airport the first thing that hit you was the humidity of the place much worse than the uk even with the recent heatwave we have had here. we spent some more time "arseing about" looking to find our car hire company, the passport control guy came out to ask if we knew that Germany were also under 17 euro champs , you learn something new every day dont you!
We couldn't get the car for another hour so we retreated to a bar outside the airport for a few beers,Becks was the order of the day and 3 beers and a coke was less than 10 euros and served by a nice blond German girl, we all had a game of guess the girls age, it was 30, as asked by postman scott (i would have said abut 27-28) watching the people stroll past it was interesting to note that although there wernt as many people over weight as there is in the uk, there were alot more smokers i would say about 70% of the people smoked as apose to about 30% over here, strange eh?
we picked up our car for the next couple of days, a might panda! which was surprisingly good.First stop was the Werser stadium, home to the German cup winners and UFEA cup runners up Werder Breman.
I was quite impressed by the stadium, (not hard when you are used to going to crap grounds like the ones i normaly go to). first stop was the club shop which was abit disappointing although we were told that the new shirt was being released tomorrow. the range wasnt as big as i would have thought but i got a badge for my collection so i was a Happy bunny.as we walked around the ground we could see that work was being done to the stadium, we tried to get a look inside however a chat who must have thought he was the furher in waiting waved us away-prick. another interesting fact is that terracing is still allowed in the German top division if they can do it there why not in England?
then it was of to find Celle the guy at the car hire place told us it would take no more than 54 Min's, typically German eh? and by the way it didn't.
