“I am a donut” President Kennedy proclaimed to the people of Berlin, so this morning I skipped the sausages and ate donuts in his honour! Berliners indeed! The stadium that hosted the recent World Cup Final looked splendid at dawn when I arrived. As the dawn light rapidly lit up the stadium, memories of failed penalty shoot outs, eager given red cards and Portuguese formation diving flooded my mind. Gennyworld is parked close to the Olympic flame pedestal at the open end of the Stadium and today is going to be another hot one. The heat wave is following us around Europe!
It was only a three hour drive from Hannover to Berlin, they charge trucks to use the autobahns these days and last nights journey cost 30 euros and with diesel costing 5 euros a gallon trucking in Europe is a costly business. Anyway to more important matters, us Englanders or as the Germans say Island Monkeys have decide to hold our very own penalty shoot out later this afternoon, more to follow, fingers crossed!
