A glorious weekend of German football

I had my first taste of live German football this weekend, with three games in three days including fixtures at Cologne, Bielefeld and Hannover. To say it was a fun trip would be a huge understatement.

I've blogged about it in detail over at Bundesliga Lounge, a cracking site that's well worth bookmarking.

You can read the piece here. Enjoy!

Below are a few photos that there wasn't room for on the blog.

Tasty, delicious wurst. Mmmm...

What a matchday experience a trip to the AWD-Arena offers

Also, many thanks to everyone who's given the blog a mention on Twitter. Seems to have been quite well received, which is nice. Perhaps I'll have another bash at a travelogue style piece in future.
