If my flight gets cancelled, I'm not going. I've already blown enough on the original date. I've looked into it and I would have to go a day early from a different airport.

For those though who doesnt need to pace themselves, gluewhine is best when fortified with rum. :OhYes:
from the market stalls its about 5% as the heat burns off the alcohol. buy it in a bottle and its 9%

Flying Wednesday evening with Easyjet from Gatwick. Having a few extra days before and after the fight. Never been to Germany before so turned it into a mini-break.

Saturday 8am from Heathrow with German wings, hope they are not affected by the strike as they are part of the Lufthansa group, I've had no emails from them to suggest I'll be affected...

Thanks Gnome (assume that's not your real name?) - do you live in the 'Dorf or have you just arrived a few days early?

Any pub recommendations? We're planning on doing the 4 main brew-pubs in the Altstad and then take it from there...

We also want to go on the big wheel - is that good?
