Get the CD phrases first with the Baywatch theme

Just when i was getting the hang of the German lingo Aido. Whats "go away or i'll scream" in italian??

[Reddladd]

GT. There are 5 in total in our group. As I said earlier it would depend on the time that the bus leaves because we're prob staying most of the day in San Marino.
There also seems to be a bus going from the Sunflower Hostel which is where we're staying so it might be best to count me out, don't want to be holding up seats on others who could give you a definate answer. Cheers.
In saying all that though I could end up looking for a way back!!

cheers

Here's an interesting option - go camping here in the town...!

Granted it'll be cold and possibly snowy, but it's cheap and you get to stay in the country and...em...!

I cant go camping ... the last time I saw my tent it was off the coast of the Faroes Islands.

Im staying in the Sun Flower aswell, so if you could keep me a seat on the Sunflower bus it would be great. Wouldnt mind seeing San Marino before the match so i would be in favour of the bus leaving early.

Any chance you could switch off the "Text-Talk" function on your PC?

[AidoM]

for everybody staying in Rimini

"with reference to your e-mail, the present one to send you the quotation for the service you asked for us with 54 pax Bus:

07 February 2007 h 12.00 from Rimini to San Marino and back, returning from San Marino at h 22.30
Price Euro 350,00"

That only works out 6.50 return..not too bad

Not wishing to steal 747 Babysis/GT Travel's role but I spotted this post (#218) when looking through the early part of the thread

Just wondering Sam if you could see if this is still available as it looks a good bit cheaper than the bus from the Academia. Alternatively could you post details of who it was from and maybe 747 Babysis/GT Travel could use it to bargain with the hotel. It seems that it's a 54 seater which is probably closer to what will now be needed.

Hey Aido

Waiting to hear from Sambu regarding his bus. To be honest I dont care which bus we get as long as its gauranteed to turn up and can get us back again! Will Pm Sambu again and see if he has any other word on the bus. Still nothing from the hotel, so we may be needing this other bus yet

That place looks good actually - there's motel rooms, apartments, campers, and you can even rent a large tent for six people. All dirt cheap too. That's my accommodation sorted.

(And you'll be pleased to know I got a new tent after the Faroes experience myself!!)

[Reddladd]

AidoM, that bus sounds ideal.
Leaves good and early giving everyone the day to discover the delights of San Marino and still have time for a few jars before we head to the game.
Kick off time hasn't been confirmed but I am assuming it will be 7.30pm or so local time.

[Reddladd]

PS. Babysis that quote you got for the bus must have been in 'lira'

[Green Tribe]

Buona sera I believe!
I understand some of you are not def wanted to be listed for our bus so no worries eg Reddladd, Ash and text speak Dub etc

Still no word from Faulty Towers at the Accademia for me either. Maybe my email today made them close the doors!

AidoM yup I do remember Sambu92's post and I was PM'ing him about that, should hear from him later or tomorrow. His bus quote would be fine if we manage to near fill it, I imagine we would with stragglers who have booked no transport but if a lot head for the sunflowers hostel bus and then some go with that irish bar bus(which i am finding out if they are open and do one) we might struggle to fill our 54 seater.

Anyway that should sort itself out when we get more info.

I did know "Go away or I'll scream" in Italian but i have forgotten now dcfc1985...

[Babysis]

Well Ive Pm'd Sambu to find out if we can confirm the bus he mentioned. Then can let the hotel know we wont be needing thier bus - but will wit till we have a definite answer!

[Green Tribe]

hehh heh. Nah it was antonella chancing her luck!
Need to remember folks did someone not say that it s 2 miles from san man town to serravale stadium, so if we go to san man for a walkabout before we need to make our own way to stadium if bus drops us in san man!
Taxi should be ok, but if it is busy?!?

There's a map of the country with a scale in the thread summaries thread. It's only be a couple of miles alright, but there's also the equivalent of the Sugar Loaf in between.
