Day 3: Cologne

Cologne, Germany


Today we cheated and got a train from the fan camp to Cologne, since it was included in the price of staying there.
Once in Cologne we met up with Steve our Geordie boy and sat drinking down the Riverside for several hours before meeting up with Liam and heading over to the fan fest to watch the match on the big screens.

Ben the alcoholic muppet was passed out on the concrete by around 5pm
. After harrassing a load of people into filling in Steves dissertation questionnaires I made an "interesting" find in one of the portaloos. So, not long later me and Liam were running around the fan fest singing and dancing and generally just going completely wappy... and my memory is really fuzzy for the rest of the day. All I can remember is being stood at the bar for ages and having a huge argument with a big fat bald bloke who threatened to kill me but then became my new best friend for about an hour, then I went back into the crowd where I couldn't find everyone so as soon as England scored I promptly dropped 2 of the 4 beers I was carrying, then eventually I managed to find the lads sitting on top of a not very stable looking portaloo!

After this, I managed to lose the boys again and wandered around the bars of Cologne on my tod, absolutely slaughtered, gatecrashing in on random groups of England fans.
