First Sweden Match - Salzburg


As most of you will be aware Andy and I decided to support Sweden for the Euro 2008 championships. Therefore on Tuesday we went to Salzburg, Austria for their first game. This place rocks. We found cheap(ish) diesel, and even found a Macdonald's that had a euro menu! The city itself is amazing and overlooked by a giant castle. Its set in the foothills of the Alps, and moving around the city involves using tunnels under the mountains. The Sweden army had arrived, making the town slightly more yellow than normal. Before watching the match on a big screen, we joined the (reportedly) 60,000 fans on a 5km march around the city - inheriting a good collection of hats & scarfs along the route. These fans rock! We are now currently taking a break in Bratislava before heading to Vienna later. Next Sweden stop Innsbruck in a few days. Ciao for now. Daves x
