Urgent call - urgent call - do you read me? Germany Meet-Up Group?

That's one detail, Anty, to which I haven't paid too much attention... sorry.

Sigh ... I have just found out that Chris and his wife won't get rooms in the hotel that I had thought would be ideal for them ... and there is hardly any other (at all!) in the area ... next one would be 3 miles down the road in the town where I sing in the choir, which isn't particularly high class, and again in "Pool Town", which is at about 10 miles from here, there would be one five-star hotel, and four three star hotels.

It would, of course, be easier, if we could all stay much closer together...

Yes. As it says "6 - 8 persons" or "4 - 6 persons" etc., the -persons always have to sleep in something other than beds, like on sofas that can be made into beds. The bunk beds of Apartment 2 count as real beds, though.

What with no room in Stemmer Landkrug, I feel less certain about how to decide now than ever before ... oh dear.

And Britta says she gets request after request about the availability of her apartments for the period of time... and she has so far always said "Sorry, no, we're FULLY booked for that week".

By tomorrow she would need to know...

i can sleep on a couch or whatever, i can sleep on pretty much anything i lay my head to rest.
Sorry you have to go to all this trouble Corinna, but i sure do appreciate it

Right, Daan, so you might be one candidate for the bunk beds .

Alex might not even be around for all 7 nights, he may have to leave for work some time in between ...

And Sky (unimaxium) can ALSO sleep everywhere, I have a photo from the DC Meet-Up two years ago that proves it!

 

[Chris of Arabia]

How far away is Buchholz Corinna?

 

[Chris of Arabia]

Google Earth says about 26Km - think I'm going to book there. I know it's a bit of a distance away, but it's helps us be rather nearer the airport on the day we fly out and if we're driving any way then the distance isn't all that much of a consideration - bit like driving to Preston from our house.

 

[Chris of Arabia]

OK, courtesy of Expedia, we're booked into the Achart Plaza Ladart Buchholz and sorted the car too. Think that's me sorted more or less - only thing I might need is another CF card...

 

[doenoe]

never have enough CF cards eh

 

[LaFoto]

OK, so that's Apartments 1 and 2 for the remaining 6 then. I'll let Britta know tomorrow.

And it is about 40 minutes drive from here to Buchholz, given you watch the speed limits on the way (which I'd recommend).

 

[Hertz van Rental]

watch the speed limits on the way (which I'd recommend).

Oh yes, Hertz and Alex, who you will be coming up from the south: once you leave the motorway (A1) at the exit "Stuckenborstel", there are two radar control boxes on your side of B75 leading up to here, and both are usually "loaded" with a camera, too. So do watch the 70 km/h where they ask you to only go at 70 km/h!!!

 

[Antarctican]

Naaaah, go for it!! We'll bail you out if you're caught. Really.

 

[LaFoto]

Well, I warned you.
And Chris, maybe 40 minutes is a bit long ... once you know the way, it'll shorten down to half an hour. But do watch the radar box in Trelde!!! You may really, really only go at 50 km/h through Trelde. Often they also bring the car with the hidden camera there and wait for those who speed!

 

[Alex_B]

just back to the real world of the internet now... and wow, I can see so much is going on already
