    In fairness, my recollection of Munich is similar

    Buy sardines from the withered old men with buckets of charcoal. Sit on the floor outside one of the bars in Barrio Alto and scoff them with some oaky Portuguese white.

    Why would I sit on the floor?

    It was hot when I was there. Stinking, stinking hot. The main square was set up to hold the thousands of England supporters gathered foir the game against whoever it was. My chum went into a Portaloo to relieve himself and came out crying, "That's not a bog, it's a fúcking piss sauna!"

    Piss sauna. 15 years down the road and I still chuckle at 'piss sauna'.

    Oooh, Caipirinhas? I remember getting quite hammered on those at a churrasco in Austin.

    100 degree heat, hard liquor and a massive load of meat. What could possibly have gone wrong?

    There are many spiks and few (if any) seats. But it’s quite romantic, really. Old man playing guitar, even older men cooking sardinhas, everyone else sitting around drinking & eating. Wd Portugueses.

    You can find some steps to sit on if the floor is too demeaning.

    They're very nice, but they're just custard tarts at the end of the day.

    I'm 45 years old. I'm fúcked if I'm sitting on the floor anywhere. Could play havoc with me piles.
