Such a good trip that was.
I ended up driving there from Liverpool. Went on the boat Dover to Calais then drove to Paris as we was going to watch the PSG vs Malmo game. Traffic was a nightmare so didn't end up getting to Paris till 8pm an the game kicked off at 8.45pm. There was no taxi's anywere so we ended up having to get google maps on our phone and run to the stadium
It said an hour walk an it tooks us about 30mins to run. Got there just after kickoff which wasn't too bad. The atmopshere was really good a lot better than anything i've seen at English grounds.
After the PSG match we returned to the car and we was meant to be camping for the night in paris in a tent
but it was absolutely lashing it down and we couldn't really be bothered putting a tent up in the rain so we stayed in a chalet type tent thing which was half decent. Next day we set off for Bordeaux it took us 5 hours and rained the whole way so driving was a pain. Finally got to Bordeaux ended up going to some irish bar 'molly malones' I think it was called and watched the footy an had some decent food. Then went the square after that there was a few reds about but mainly Bordeaux students! Thought Bordeaux itself was a really nice city if im honest.
Day of the game we went up to the stadium in the morning. Impressive ground but absolutely fuckall around the ground so went back to the square and sat there all day with bottles from the shop. Had a little kickaround with a footy that we brought and sang a few songs was a good laugh. Got the tram to the ground and met a few Bordeaux fans. They was all sound really seen no trouble at all. Didn't expect our end to be so empty in all honestly and I expected more of our fans to make the trip but it was short notice and not that easy to get too.
Coming home on Friday was the worst. 5 hours from Bordeaux to Paris. Stayed in Paris for a few hours had a look at the Stade de France, Eiffel Tower etc then drove upto Calais to get the boat back for 12am. As we get to Calais stopped off at a petrol station right next to the port goes to drive to the port and I notice i've got a flat tyre. Had no spare tyre so I had to use the emergency car tyre repair kit at the side of the road. Managed to get the tyre pumped up enough to get me on to the boat. Gets back to Dover about 2am and pumped the tyre up with some air. Had to drive all the way back home at 48mph
Finally got home at 9am Saturday morning after stopping off at about 10 service stations on the way home to check the tyre and put more air in it!
Can't beat the European aways though
