    Smaller beergarden in Koln for the France v Portugal semi-final. Very comfy. : by maria_brett, Views[673]
         		 ...but found a thriving colony of roses on top of the fort inside the moat. Must be the dedication of the gardeners!: by maria_brett, Views[708]
         		 Walking through a park we chanced upon this seemingly-abandoned fort...: by maria_brett, Views[773]
         		 A squirrel in the 'Flora' park, a gorgeous park on the northern outskirts of Koln, complete with turtles in the pond and Australian banksias!: by maria_brett, Views[815]
         		 The view to Koln across the river Rheine: by maria_brett, Views[716]
     
    Aachener Weiher. One beergarden, one tv, 1000 fans... Go figure! Somehow it all worked.: by maria_brett, Views[642]
         		 Fans go to all efforts to show their support for their team - even unborn German fans. I wonder what team he'll grow up to support...: by maria_brett, Views[602]
         		 Aachener Weiher. Some of the thousand fans who turned up to the beergarden to watch Germany v Italy.: by maria_brett, Views[661]
         		 Aachener Weiher, Koln. The perfect place for a beergarden, and the perfect place to watch the Germany v Italy semi-final on a hot summer's day.: by maria_brett, Views[1139]
         		 Koln post-WWII. Amazingly the cathedral was untouched by allied destruction. (The hotel we stayed in was in the area at the bottom right of the picture, but of course the whole city has been rebuilt.): by maria_brett, Views[4957]
     
    One of the huge flower pieces from the top of one of the spires - just to give to some context about the size of the cathedral (see previous photo).: by maria_brett, Views[718]
         		 The huge cathedral at Koln. Impressive to say the least. I'll never cease to be amazed by the siye of these things. How on earth did they build them centuries ago?: by maria_brett, Views[628]
         		 In Munich after the German win over Argentina. Travelling home at midnight we bumped into some cool Nigerians twice by chance in the swarming crowds and for that they convinced us to buy us some drinks at an African bar called Hakuna Mattata. If you see these guys, buy them a drink for us...: by maria_brett, Views[636]
         		 Leopold Strasse, Munich, after Germany defeated Argentina to advance to the semi-final. I'd believe it if someone told me there were 1 million people along this mile.: by maria_brett, Views[657]
         		 View inside the recording studio which was turned into an ampitheatre for German fans, complete with a keg of beer, beer nuts along the aisles, cigarette smoke and meatloaf for the hungry hoardes. Thanks Franzi for the 'real' German experience. The alternative was heading to an outdoor Fan Fest with bazillions of drunk and sweaty fans.: by maria_brett, Views[652]
     
    If you figure out how to defy gravity, be sure to let the Germans know they have another field on which to play their football. I guess the Irish could use it anytime! This was located at the Fan Fest in Munich.: by maria_brett, Views[582]
         		 Nymphenburg Schloss. We could've sat here all day. Actually, what day is it today? Where are we...?: by maria_brett, Views[535]
         		 Nymphenburg Schloss - the back yard! Hate to mow this lawn eh... Or weed the gravel... or clean the lake. What is it with Royal fascination with huge things to display their wealth, when they would probably lose all of it just to build something like this (Recall the building of Palace of Versailles which nearly sent France broke...): by maria_brett, Views[685]
         		 Nymphenburg Schloss in Munich. The grandiose siye and lavishness of the surrounding fields and parks... beyond description. Luckily we'd strolled around the 698kms of gorgeous parklands before this storm came over and confined us to a relaxing arvo indoors.: by maria_brett, Views[638]
         		 'Kicker' comnpetition for charity (table soccer, or 'Foosball') in Munich. It was hosted by a football-mad optometrist who turned his shop into a smoke-filled bar for the round robin evening. Our new friend, Franzi, was playing in the blue team, but unfortunately couldn't knock out the ever so serious competition.: by maria_brett, Views[753]
     
    Maybe the Germans don't read German... I'd use that excuse too if I was busting for a break!: by maria_brett, Views[641]
         		 The English Gardens in the middle of the city. A river flows quickly under the adjacent buildings into the park; a permanent wave appears; you grab a board and surf it (to the bemused gaze of onlookers). Makes perfect sense if you don't have surf beaches like those in Oz!: by maria_brett, Views[3232]
         		 Led by Guus Hiddink (a.k.a. 'God'), the Socceroos stayed after their defeat to appreciate the crowd. There were tears all round from players and fans (and even from you at home, we've heard), but more from bursting pride than sadness. : by maria_brett, Views[3979]
         		 Past Schwarzer and through the net! Right direction and trajectory, but just not enough to stop Totti from sucking his thumb. We were so worried before this shot because the sun was directly in Schwarzer's eyes. He did well - Bravo!: by maria_brett, Views[664]
         		 Moments before Totti's last-second penalty sealed Italy's 1-0 victory over Australia. Did this win Italy the Cup?: by maria_brett, Views[1083]
     
    Aussie fans at half-time. Go the greeen and gold!: by maria_brett, Views[688]
         		 Lucas Neill defends a charge by Italy (when they're not rolling around on the pitch in an Oscar-worthy performance). We give Neill Man of the Match!: by maria_brett, Views[679]
         		 View of the stadium at Kaiserslautern. This stadium is perched atop the summit of a hill, with entrances beginning some several hundred metres at the bottom of the hill on all sides.: by maria_brett, Views[1705]
         		 The Socceroos come out onto the pitch, to the raucous cheers of the Aussie fans and, possibly, 95% of the stadium - and millions more at home in Aus!: by maria_brett, Views[671]
         		 Viduka takes a moment before kick-off to appreciate the crowd, which is already at fever-pitch in their cheering and on their feet. Actually, I don't think anyone sat down for any second of the game.: by maria_brett, Views[635]
     
    On the way from the town up the hill towards the stadium. An exciting and festive pilgrimage. Actually, I don't remember walking there; more swept along by the atmosphere and good wishes by the locals.: by maria_brett, Views[595]
         		 German locals showing their support for Australia. This sight was more the norm than the exception. We felt that the whole town of Kaiserslautern was behind the Socceroos, and many friendships and much respect between the two nations were formed on that day by Aussies and locals alike.: by maria_brett, Views[625]
         		 Leaving small village of Wilferdingen-Singen in the morning on the way to Kaiserslautern. Spreading the Aussie cheer, but all we got were fixed stares of bewilderment from the locals!: by maria_brett, Views[800]
         		 Traditional Sth-West German town.: by maria_brett, Views[649]
         		 Helen, Maria, Bernie and Brett with faces painted on the train on the way to Kaiserslautern. Funny how the World Cup gives people licence to look like total freaks. You may have seen the two freaks in the middle on Ch 9 news!: by maria_brett, Views[686]
     
    More euphoria - some players have swapped jerseys with Croatian counterparts. Note Viduka congratulating Aloisi, in turn contratulating Kalac (the goalkeeper). Note Lucas Neill in the background who went nuts.: by maria_brett, Views[3810]
         		 Socceroos celebrate - they're through to the Round of 16 against Italy!: by maria_brett, Views[537]
         		 Fans erupt after goal is scored!: by maria_brett, Views[733]
         		 Fans at the stadium. Spot the Croatian fan!: by maria_brett, Views[729]
         		 Harry Kewell changing direction. Cut through the defence, Harry!: by maria_brett, Views[578]
     
    Ball high above the stadium. Funny how millions of fans gather to watch as players try to slot it into a net at either side of a pitch of grass.: by maria_brett, Views[753]
         		 Crotia scores first goal within minutes of kick-off. Come on Aussies!: by maria_brett, Views[590]
         		 Pre-game, waiting for kick-off. No-one was sitting down (I don't think we sat down once!!!).: by maria_brett, Views[590]
         		 Croatian fans at the other end of the stadium pre-match. Their cheering in unison, as one voice was ear-splitting.: by maria_brett, Views[647]
