Another Rugby tour - this time to Hamburg

I (Adam) just spent last weekend (Easter) with 39 other blokes on and end of season Rugby 'Tour' to Hamburg. The tour theme this year was 'Olympics' which might seem like a pretty tame theme. However as usual the blokes at my club used this as an excuse to dress as women or in tight Lycra - or both, when we arrived at the airport.

I used Cathy Freeman and her all in one (including hood) running suit from the 200 Olympics in Sydney as my inspiration. So with bike shorts and rash vest (skin tight Lycra top) and some numbers pinned to me I went off to Heathrow. There were blokes dressed as female Chinese women swimmers (in one piece bathers complete with puff up muscles underneath!), the British swim team were there in Speedos and swim caps and a few other disturbing costumes!

We played a game against the locals which we won, ate a lot of pork (they are pretty keen on it in Germany), had a couple of beers and a few laughs. A fun weekend away.
