Ich bin ein Berliner...

Will that help at all?

 

[Hertz van Rental]

Ich bin ein Hamburger works for me.

 

[Alex_B]

OK, serious for just one moment:

I have PMed all of you who you are coming twice by now. Extensive PMs, lots of data.
Help me: what do you still need to know. What have I forgotten to plan, to tell you about, to organise?

Will there be a stage set up at the barbeque for Hertz and the boys to do their clog dance exhibition?



(Oh, you said 'serious'. Sorry. :blushing: )

 

[Antarctican]

The itinerary looks good! It's a good mix of organized events/tours, and down time where we can do what we like.

 

[Chris of Arabia]

Are we going to need any posh(ish) clothes at all? Mainly thinking about what to pack

 

[Chris of Arabia]

Thinking more about what might be acceptable in some of the restaurants

 

[Alex_B]

German restaurants are usually pretty relaxed, t-shirt and long trousers do the job in most of them except the poshest.

But we better wait for the local organiser to answer on this

 

[Chris of Arabia]

Wouldn't want to embarrass anyone in my Iron Maiden t-shirt and sawn off denims...

 

[Alex_B]

I can bring a flintstone tie for you if you want

 

[Chris of Arabia]

I actually believe you have one of those

 

[Alex_B]

I actually believe you have one of those

I do have a Fred Flintstone tie ... true!

Did not wear it for ages, but used to shock people with it at formal events

Bremer Ratskeller at lunchtime is definitely an "any-clothes" venue.
The one I don't really know myself is "Alt-Helgoländer Fischerstuben" in Hamburg, and we're going there in the evening, but does any of us really want to carry about a second set of clothes for the entire day???
So for the Hamburg-day you might want to get dressed in something OTHER than your Iron Maiden t-shirt and sawn-off jeans in the morning already...
"Portofino" in Fintel is so very much an "anything-goes" restaurant, and just in case (and I sooooooooooooooooo hope it will be the case!) the good weather we're having just now will not have exhausted itself by the last week of May, they'll seat us outside, anyway.
