Today we travelled by train to Dornbirn, the train ride was very good as we got to see some of the country side. We stopped in Lindau where we were picked up by coach and taken to Dornbirn, during this ride we travelled through a 6.7 KM tunnel, now that is one serious tunnel.

During the train ride there were card games being held and Rob Vazey and Roger Bedford cleaned up all challengers before retiring to let the losers play off. Isaac Fraser and John Bardo vs Rohan Singh and Alley Langridge finished with no winner as the train arrived in Lindau. Rob Vazey had a his heart racing after leaving his bag on the train with his pass port and money etc in it. This was also the case for Elisabeth and Richard Haywood, luckily the other team members had there eye on the game picking them up on the way through. That could have been interesting???

The guys all felt good today and seem to be over the jetlag. We arrived in Dornbirn around 4pm and checked into the Hotel, the rooms and hotel are very nice. After we checked in we went for a walk around to check out the local area, and then had dinner at 7.30pm.

The new members of the team are a little nervous as the initiations are yet to be completed, it has been noted that after naps some have checked that their eyebrows are still intact, along with other areas....HA HA HA.. As we have 7days to go I am happy to take any suggestions. The longer serving players Mark, Rob and Ro have things sorted but would like to know if there are any other ideas...Post your comment...

Tomorrow we start the day with breakfast at 7.45am then we will have a look at the stadium, and possibly a light training run. Then lunch, meeting followed by an early dinner before heading to the opening ceremony and game one. Ticket sales have gone well, so we are expecting a full stadium for our opening game vs Austria.
