Sweden played its base game outside at the subway station "Kagran" which was at the end of the subway line U1.
The Albert Schulz Eizhalle was clearly larger in size than what we saw in, for example, Canazei, but was significantly smaller than the arena where the finals were to be played.
The Albert Schulz Eizhalle where Sweden played their base game was adjacent to the small World Championships village that had been built especially for this purpose and there was also a HUUUUUGE parking lot in front of it where we parked our camper van.

Finally arrived in Vienna. The journey has lasted all night and we assume that Patrik is very tired after driving all the way Kiel-Vienna.
But Gabbe and Johnny head quickly in the direction of the hall where...
Fredner has taken position at an orchestra that was playing. He had resolutely pushed the conductor away and started cranking as only Fredner can when he's really drunk.

No inhibitions!!! Here, Fredner proudly displays the home-distilled liquor that we had with us, and of course he also explains in detail to the law enforcement representatives what it is all about. This is Fredner in a nutshell, without shame, without caring.
A nice picture of Fredner and Gerhard, one of the policemen who was around our mobile home a lot and was insanely funny as we will soon show.
Before the game against the Czech Republic, it goes without saying that you scream and shout how good your own country is and recharge mentally so that the atmosphere is at its best when you enter.
Of course, you share the space with the opposing team's fans which, however, is not visible in this picture.
Johnny believes in victory against the Czechs. Gabbe seems more doubtful.
Drop in the Czech zone, the legendary Pavel Patera with his back to the camera.
