If Australia qualify i think its best to get a packaged deal with one of the fan groups they offer fantastic value and camaraderie, you will not have to worry about connecting bus trips , hotel rooms, etc. But choose wisely and do your research it would suck to be with a group of louts for a month long pub crawl.Ok so starting the planning now. Flight plans will be available over the next couple of months so anyone going I suggest get in early!
Going regardless of whether Aus qualify and hoping to get a ticket to the final - any idea on the likelihood, cost and avenue of acquiring a finals ticket? Im guessing its near on impossible and will cost several hundred/thousand....
As for the rest of the time, would it be worthwhile travelling around the country or will it just be far too hectic?
Am I better off just going to the World Cup and saving a scenic trip to the rest of SA for another time?
This really is going to break the bank.....
Id say forget any ideas about going to machu pichu or any other well known tourist attractions if you dont like crowds before or just after the cup everyone else will have the same plans.
Id say try find a nice strip of coast to follow in uruguay pre WC or something, avoid the crowds.
But i think Bundibundi may be the guy to talk to in re to this.
I had originally planned to go but plans change. Id have just got back from istanbul/ jordan/ europe . With new found passion from the national team i may just regret this decision.
everyone who actually goes must post up any photos or videos, or face permanent ban i say!
