Possible return bus from Dubrovnik to Shkoder-CONFIRMED

[sligoman]

The other thread is filling up with other stuff so may aswell start a new thread. Who'd be up for getting a bus from Dubrovnik to Shkoder, leaving Thursday morning and back to Dubrovnik straight after the game? There may be delays at the border both ways so we would need to leave early to ensure we get there in time.

The price I got was:
Minibus (max 16 people) ..............940 EUR cash.
Bus (max 46 people)...................1260 EUR cash

Rules: no smoking and drinking alcohol in the bus.

I'm still awaiting other responses so may get cheaper but that's the only one I got so far.

OK. If you are going to Shkoder and you're interested in getting the return bus from Dubrovnik to Shkoder and returning on the same night back to Dubrovnik text David on 087-2186351. If we get 40+ it'll work out about €28 each. If we get less than 16, it will be €59 each. I'd say we should get everyone who's travelling, on this bus. Will be good to have everyone together too.

Myself and Sligoman (Sligoman doesn't have a phone) will organise this, and we won't know how much ,exactly, it will be till we know how many are getting the bus.

If we cant drink what are we going to do on the bus?

[sligoman]

If we cant drink what are we going to do on the bus?I doubt the driver will go around sniffing drinks, just move onto the shorts and a mixer for the bus journey;). Not ideal I know but better than trying to get down to the game on public transport. Will see what the other company says anyway.

Someone's getting sick on the bus :p

Sligomans 21st is just before we leave, so another reason to celebrate the trip.:cool:

Got this email from the bus company:

This is a long and slow drive. Roads in Montenegro and bad (not to mention Albania). We have to cross all of the borders and if there will be medium traffic and not much delays on the borders I esstimate it will take us approx 5,5 hours in each way (with maybe two short stops).

Best regards,
Maro

Ask Maro did he ever drive from Tubber to Gurteen.

[rob mcdonald]

Ask that bus driver did he by any chance have Parkhouse on his bus during his honeymoon??? Who in there right mind lets an employee get married during the busy season, makes you wonder about him. I only read this in the programme last week. Wonder how the injury is??

[celticV3]

Heading back to Dubrovnik is the best bet I think.

Might want to find out first, wouldn't be assured theres a bus back on a hunch. Our flight back is earlier than most so travelling back the same night suits us grand

[rovers100%]

sure no one seems to be staying in shkoder thurs nite so no point

[Toddy_Burns]

Right Lads, Myself and few others booked knock liverpool dubrovnik route for the tuesday. no accomadation booked yet but booked tirana to gatwick for the friday evening. didnt think of manchester! its just been €208 so far which is grand, london ireland flights wont be much addition. Wouldnt mind being in shkoder for wednesday so if anyone else is on for that the hired bus is a shout.
