Sorry Bonnie. We haven't hired a car yet, still just thinking about it and also thinking of getting the train still. Anyway, I thought you were getting in after us.

I'm heading to Greece vs Czech Rep in Wroclaw on the 12th June. Using it as an excuse to see Wroclaw for a few days because it's supposed to be beautiful.

Anyone else going to other cities? I'm taking in Krakow from the 7th June until the 10th June (leaving early for Poznan). Also going to Sczczein (wrong spelling I'm sure!) in North West Poland for a few nights between the Spain and Italy games. Got an Ibis there for 3 nights for about 110 euro, slap bang in the middle of town. Much better value than Poznan and Gdansk and means I get to see a bit of the place.

Just joshing dude.

Yeah we land at 1005 CET.
The other fella is back home today so hopefully we'll be clearer at that stage of what we're doing.
Sick of planning it at this stage.

Apparently it costs twice as much if you're taking a rental car from Berlin to eastern europe. Hypocrites, don't they remember where they came from?

And divided by 5? :-)

I'm probably going to be in Berlin for the duration of the group stages as I've got tickets for the two Poznan games. Doubt I'll go all the way to Gdansk on the off chance. Anyone else going to be in Berlin for the Spain game?

**Desyf** · 23/05/2012, 8:09 PM

I have a spare rail ticket from Berlin to Poznan (cost me �35.00) if anyone wants it.

I'm flying instead now cos Ryanair released cheapish flights from Liverpool to Poznan.

I'm happy to post it to you rather than waste it.

**BonnieShels** · 23/05/2012, 11:54 PM

I've actually given up trying to get to Poznan on the Saturday. Booked a hotel (****hole) for Sunday night in the City.
If someone can offer me a reasonable option of getting down there Saturday I will take it.
Otherwise I'll stay the night in Berlin and get the train down.

I'll let you know if we go for the car. Are there no trains left?

Cheers dude.
There are some left but they are savage expensive. Ridiculously so.

Anyone travelling from Poznan to Gdansk on the 13th, what's the best option??

Is it a direct train? I've seen trains going through Wroclaw then Bydgoszcz onto Gdansk taking 5hrs.... Sounds like torture!!

Well this train stops in Bydgoszcz but that's on route so pretty understandable. Are you sure that a Poznan - Gdansk train goes through Wroclaw? If you look at a map that's insane.

There's trains going almost every hour between the two cities, I just picked a train that we'd actually be likely to make/least hungover for.
