First stop was Belfast, and a big night out. On Friday morning the team had a defensive coaching session from Ulster's defence coach (Ulster is one of the three top clubs in Irish Rubgy). Next came lunch and a few beers, before a ferry ride across to Scotland. 2 hours on the ferry and 4 1/2 by train and we landed in Edinburgh. What a great party city!
We saw the Ireland Scotland game at Murrayfield on the Saturday, and on Sunday went to Panmure FC, near Dundee, which was Alan's old club when he was a kid. There is even a photo on the wall with him looking like a young Michael Jackson (what an afro!). The hospitality of the club was superb!
On Monday morning, the bus arrived at 6:00 am to drive us to Glasgow airport to fly back to Berlin.
It was a great trip, the guys were a great bunch and we had a super time.
Of course, being a rugby tour, there are no photos and details. "what goes on tour stays on tour"
