World Cup Munich


Greetings from the Holiday Inn - Munich!

Yeh, I know, another week another trip abroad by dave! at the moment I'm in Munich for the ISSF world cup, followed next week by another World cup in Milan. At these events I have the oportunity to increase my current world ranking of 33, beat the pants of the best shooters in the world and ultimatley if all goes well, win a Quota place for the 2008 Olympics!!

The flight here was one of the most bumpy and turbulant I have ever been on so I'm feeling a bit WOO at the moment. Time will sort that out though! Going through customs at both ends was a breeze this time, done in record time i think!!

The hotel in Munich seems quite nice and central, though I have not been out and about yet. Will need to explore soon though, need to purchase some milk and biscuits!!!!

I shall leave you for the moment with some views of the conditions I will have to suffer whilst I'm here.... Its a hard life.....Honest!!!!!


One view of the room



Here you can see the mini bar, Kettle (thankfully), Air conditioning controls and all important TV remote.
(it can be a hard life on these trips sometimes!!!!



Nice room!!



As an addition to these pics here are a few of Rachel and myself from Friday night when we attended the Welsh sports hall of fame dinner and awards evening.

Be affraid!!!!!








Damn Pap!!!

All the best guys

Dave

PS should be able to post often as there is internet access in the rooms at reasonable rates!!

Shocking conditions!!! I didn't see mints on the pillows and I bet you don't even have a trouser press. If I was you I'd complain to your (probably 24 hour, "anything you need sir?") concierge.

Oh yeah, good luck with the shooting and stuff.

No trouser press, but there is a iron and ironing board in the wardrobe!! And its got to be said, its one of the better hotels anyone can remember being in!!! (though not quite as nice as the appt we stayed at for the first week in melbourne.

Speak soon.
