Leipzig: Football crazy ...

Historic Leipzig was once the "jewel of east Germany" (ok I made that quote up) ... boasting one of Europe's largest train platforms, recently restored to its former glory ...



And now - overrun by large soccer balls (note the cool traffic pedestrian green man) ...



... and another huge fan area with masssive screen (here's the victorious Brazilian crowd - we watched Australia go down to Brazil here. But we don't talk about that anymore)



With scalpers, scalpees, and large mascots: what more could you want?

Hey a John!
I didn't realise that you were in Germany!!! Ahhh... so nice there... Your pickie of German Breakfast is Gold. That's my idea of bliss... who doesn't want to wake up to sausages, eggs, marmalades and cheese?! Hmm... cheese...

And those Nutella Crepes! I don't care where they come from, I love that you can get them in pretty much any Germany city! Yuummmm! Have one for me!

Will have to catch up with you when you're in Sydney next. Looking forward to it!
Love ya~
