Russia 2018

Moscow – England vs Croatia

One more weekend??? A little more TV time before the biggest game in recent history. The eventual disappointment coupled with immense pride

The real Soviet Union, romantic meals and swims on the river and a friendly kidnapping. One of the greatest days of my life

The game we wanted. Outnumbered 10-1 by the relentless Colombian fans. The greatest single moment in my travels to date

Even more train drama followed by 42 hours on the tracks. More wonderful Russians and the result we didn’t want…or did we

Dramas on the trains, a rather untypical performance from the Three Lions. The Great Panamanian Sea and a little more drama on the trains

Introduction to the Capital. Our first few scenes for TV and a rather entertaining meeting with some of Russia’s tough guys

Finally our turn to play, reuniting with some legends of the Brazil World Cup and accidentally drinking to forget

My first taste of Russia. World Cup fever building slowly. They don’t seem too bad after all.

Off to check out this new place against all advice. Well I can’t not go after completing the Panini sticker album
