river" series. |

Buenos in the bar underneath the Amsterdam. |

The back alley behind the main square that led to the
excellent Pub Medyk. Never did get a "Palm Special"
though! |
 |
Absolutely no idea
who this guy is, but he's Polish (that's Ally's hat) and he seems happy
enough! |
 |
Paul and some drunk
Polish bird. She later keeled over, knocking the bar stools flying,
after an innocent 'incident' with Rich. |

The hotel was a right toilet. |
Bydgoszcz, Wednesday |
 |
Pre-match in the Medyk. |

The claustrophobic surroundings obviously affected David. |

A bit of a sing-song. |

A room service menu from the Hotel Pod Orlem - Helen
couldn't choose between the brain or the snails, but Paul didn't get a
chance to try the frizy little chops! |
