Another weekend ?!

Hi guys,

yes, I write also about my weekend. It was the last usable weekend in North-Ireland.

On Saturday, I was with Martin in the Lagan Valley LeisurePlex, a big leisure pool in Lisburn (in the south of Belfast). There we have done many things. In my opinion was the best in the LisurePlex, a slide, which ended in a big funnel. In the slide, you come very fast in the funnel and you don’t know, where you are. It was a lot of fun.

After them, we have enjoyed a big all-you-can-eat meal in a Chinese restaurant. It was very good, but I guess not good for the figure.

On Sunday, was the big first German football game: Germany versus Portugal.  We was for this game in the „Botanic Inn„. There was a good atmosphere and it was very funny.

This was the last weekend and it is slowly time to say goodbye.

Best regards from Belfast

The Weekend

The last whole weekend here in Belfast run out. Next weekend we will fly home. So, I decided to do anything special, as far as practicable in Belfast. A bird twittered me something about the Lagan Valley LeisurePlex. This is the „largest leisure pool of its kind in Northern Ireland“ located in Lisburn – approximately 30 minutes away from our train station. At noon we went to the train and drove directly to Lisburn. After a few minutes walk we reached the leisure park, which was full of families with her children. We had a lot of fun there and it was something else, what I can do in Northern Ireland. After this event I was tired and hungry. So we searched somewhere to eat something and found a Chinese restaurant, where we could eat from a buffet for a fixed price – Therefore a all-you-can-eat. I tried a lot of the Chinese food that was very delicous. Maybe a little bit to much. Afterwards I had stomachache.

I went saturated  home and had a small nap. But not so long, because I want to see the European championchip. So the 3 FIANs Benny, Chris and Timo and myself went together with the German flag to a pub. Unfortunately the match was not so exiting, but we had won and this is the main point.

The Sunday began with a typical British breakfast at Maggie May´s. Maybe I hadn’t choose the big „Bumper Fry“ with 2 eggs, 2 bacon, sausage, potato bread, soda bread, hash brown, mushrooms, beans and chips. After this huge meal I had to sleep again.

Ireland vs. Croatia – 1:3

The game started really bad for Ireland. In the 3rd minute  Croatia already it’s first goal. What followed was a fishy game by the Croatien players but then in the 19th minute St. Ledger made a nice head goal. Befor the end of the first half Croatia made another goal. During the half time break I was thinking about some Irish people and what they said about they football players.

Every Irish person says that they have a bad football team.

Maybe that’s the reason why I like Irish Rugby more than football. In the end Ireland lost the game with a 1:3 against Croatia. Let’s see how they handle the next game on Thursday.

A goal for Germany

It was a exciting game between Portugal and Germany. Germany played very well but they really had to be careful. C. Ronaldo always wanted to make his shot. Once it was very very close when the ball kissed the line of german goal. A few yellow cards but also some fair acts by our enemies made the game pretty nice. When Gomez made a goal for Germany in the 72nd minute I was some kind of happy.

Just to notice that I normally don’t like football. Irish Rugby is much cooler as I noticed a few weeks ago. That are real men with muscles. They really have no fear and aren’t such actors as football players.
