Hints and Tips (coming when the lads send me some info)
Here we'll try to help you make travel arrangements, airport parking hints, what to take where, where to go off the beaten track, when to buy footy tickets, where to eat before the match and after. The best Museums and Art galleries, cheapest attractions and so on...
Wilkie says "don't run with a sharp knife in your mouth whilst blind-folded". Thanks Dave.
You get the picture????? Will get some info from Dave and Baz in the New Year.
Football is a Universal language. Generally people will be interested and glad to chat/help.
Book match tickets in advance and check local rules re tickets. Some grounds you can't buy tickets on the day.
Peggy Guggenheim museum in Venice if you love Modern Art.
Don't order a Latte in Italy, you'll get milk.
Don't use the toilets at Hadjuk Split stadium.
Ditto Stadio Olimpico.
Ditto virtually every European Football grounds toilets.
Don't order fish in restaurants in Split. V expensive.
Don't ask Wilkie's on-tour valet to iron your socks.
Watch yourselves on the Barcelona Metro.
Ditto Naples buses.
Virtually every Church in Venice is a mini Art Museum.
Try and speak some local language.
Family run restaurants are the best. Everywhere.
Do your research. It can make things ; cheaper, faster, funner. It will save you time and and make everything run smoother. One person in your group may enjoy doing this.
Take responsibility. Don't let one person do everything.
More as things pop into my head.
