Quote (moonchildhippy @ May 30 2006, 00:44) | I've spoken to a friend Di, about this NOTP, she's interested in going to Dortmund, has a son live 10miles away. The only thing is will need to find a hotel as her son has a 1 bedroom flat.
I'm thinking that Dussledorf and Cologne aren't far from Dortmund,I'm wondering if my finances will permit me to go a second night, , at 66.5Euros, £45.60 for the most expensive tickets is less than I thought they'd be.
I'm pondering on the best way to get there, I get somuch free travel and 1/4fare on UK rail services and I think I get a reduction on Eurostar and certain European countries rail networks . The only thing is typed in a journey leaving at 10am from London Waterloo International to Dusseldorf, involved getting the 17:09 to Paris changing onto a night train for Dusseldorf arriving at about 08:25 the following morning,would take too long. The other alternative is to fly, but having never flown before I have no idea what it's like. Saying that If I can handle a flight simulator of a WW1 Dogfight, chasing The Red Baron then I'm sure an airline flight is nowhere near as rough in comparison. BTW the flight simulator is at the RAF Museum in Hendon (north London),and is like ones used to train RAF pilots. For a day out there's so much to see there. The good news is it's fully wheelchair (I'mnot disabled,but did accompany a wheelchair user there) and is also free admission for all (I like to leave a donation). Check out

Sorry for my slight diversion from the topic there, I'm excited about the possibility of seeing Mike play live , evenifhe plays for25 mins or so. @ Ray How did you book your tickets please?? Did you use that "Eventim.de", the only thing is I know a little German,but couldn't work out how to book tickets on that site, couldn't find a translation into English.
Auf Weidersehen, I'm off to improve my German. |
Yes i used that site but I speak German so i was able to work through it.
I havnt found any other way.
It is quite easy but if you struggle I can help you - just mail me with a PM and i'll call you and talk you through it.
