In Germany we spent most of the time at Fabiene's (also known as Fafa) place. She has two boys, Thomas and Thiago and was married to one of Peter's cousin's.

"Finally got the tickets" |
After going to the wrong place (we went to Allianz Stadium) we had to go back to the Olympic Park where FFA was setup in a caravan to hand over the tickets |

Aichach - that's where Fabiene, Thomas and Thiago live |
- close to Augsburg and only 30 min from Munich |

They are good friends of Fabiene. All around the laptop checking out the photos from the matches |
