Porto is a very quiet place. That 2 night option sounds cool. Who is that with?

Some countries put names on the tickets, i think its Italy that try and stamp down on that the most though. I was fine in Villereal though.

Sportoptions are good. Well organised, all your transfers and a piss up wen u stay for an evening. Happy Days!

Even when I saw them checking names against passports in Turin I just changed the name using a permanaent marker and signed under it as P Hill-Wood. No problems.

Also attended the World cup in Germany as Herr Otto Stohl. I wasn't sure whether to be pleased or insulted that they let me in :lol: :lol:
