Day 1 in Laussane, after a few drinks - purely to acclimatise to the Swiss prices, Darren decides to have some local dishes, a Kebab!   He also tries to converse with the locals "Bon jour, is it possible to get a Kebab".  Darren has been awarded the Del Boy Award for Conversational French.

Continuing to sample Swiss culture the lads retire to a local German bar with the Limerick barman and the Swiss students who challenge us to singing competition, with any Irish song we choose! 

Yet another pint, another bar!

Another Irish ritual exported to Switzerland, a trip to McD's to make up for the lack of food during the day.

Day 2 - and a need to do some tourist things, a few photos and most importantly some fresh air. The lads in typical fashion visit the Museum shop, thus avoiding paying the entrance fee!

Afternoon and time for a pint. The arrival of Paul means that the full supply of pint glasses, all 6 of them, are completely utilised by the Irish guys!

You're in the army now! The really worrying thing is that the soldiers went on duty after leaving the pub!

Darran goes pole dancing!! Well the young lady is Polish.

Day 3 - Arrive in Basel. Once again a nice photo opportunity on the way to the pub!

Cafe Rio becomes base camp, hey who are those guys looking at us through the looking glass?

Is that Alpay in his mother's cardigan?

Once again the friendly Irish make friends wherever we go.

Day 4 - Match Day, the boys are pensive by the banks of the Rhine.

As the tension rises the face paint is applied.

The boys at the game, non-alcoholic beer in hand and expectations high!

Row 8, best seats in the house!

The Boy's as seen in The Sunday Times, The Sunday World and The Star.

We may have lost the match but we were not going to lose the party!

Day 5 - Montreaux - The Last Day. Video duke box day where 80's music never dies. Pints at the English pub where the owner buys us a round because the Irish who watched the match in his pub were well behaved and it was very lucrative!

Once again more the Irish make more friends and Freddie joins the Boy's in Green.

Separated at birth?

Separated at birth?  Or something more sinister, a turncoat !

Talk about hedging your bets!

Separated at birth? 

Have you ever seen Paul and Les Battersby in the same room at the same time?

 

Separated at birth?  Or something more sinister!

The Angry Ants!
