As part of my promise to the kids I'm gonna keep a world cup diary which starts today for me. We're (my mates and I) not actually arriving at the site until Monday 12th, but with match tickets in hand and Sat Nav ready to programme, I've suddenly realised I'm off the the F***king WORLD CUP!! The buzz around where I live is awesome and I look forward to meeting some great characters and future friends.
COME ON ENGLAND.

I will be arriving on Saturday. This is my first trip overseas and what a trip it will be. Bring on the games.

Nice One Engerlass! As we havent heard from anyone who has got there yet, le us know when your bloke gets there and what he thinks of the place please!

Spoke to him a little while ago, he was on a train full of people going to the camp. Will be calling again later to see what the camp is like, will keep you posted

Oooooooohhhhh Yeeeeaaaahhhhh!!!!! I aint going over till next sunday so Im looking forwards to reading loads of posts on how ace the site is, as If I'm not excited enough already, think my mates will have to stretcher me to the camp after Ive nearly died of over exhaustion!!!!

ok folks here's the update. He said the scenery from the train reminded him of holland. The campsite is at least as hilly as Cornwall, the bungalow cabin things and the caravans look ok. At the moment the site is chaotic due to the many people arriving at the same time and Berni still trying to set things up properly, the big screen isn't working yet and neither is the beer tent although beer is availible in the restaurant bar.

I hoppe they ge that TV and beer sorted

Whats the latest then engerlass?? Did your husband get the coach trip to watch the england paraguay match? Take it they got the screens sorted now? Saw the match in the pub but all I could think the whole time was god I wish I was in Germany!! Not long to go for me now Yippeeee!!!

Berni supplied one coach for people with tickets which took them direct to the stadium and others which took those without right into the city to the fanfest area. Screen got sorted in the end and he has been watching it today. If you pm me I will give you more details on other stuff you might find interesting [smilie=rulez.gif]

Any more info on the site?

is it packed?
is there plenty of room for more tents?

etc etc

Apparently the lower part of the site is quiet packed but the top end is much quieter so he has retreated up the hill. The caravans and hut things look good but the tents supplied by Berni are only festival type so no good if you get rained on.

thanks alot for the info

I heard that on the first day, a friend of ours is there already and he said it was a nightmare. Only Bernie organising everything. The cocaches to the games was a mini bus and there was no big screen, no electrcity, no showers, food or drink.

We like many others panicked. We arrive this Saturday.
I have since spoken to the campsite and they have assured me that although they had teething problems, they now have the screen working, food and electricty/showers etc.

I suppose its turn up and see!!!

What has your hubby said about it Engerlass? Surely they have showers and Electricity?
