Montenegro Away - 10th September 2008

[AidoM]

Dubrovnik to Pogrodica is about a 90 min drive. I emailed info@taxidubrovnik.com inquiring price of bue to Pogrodica and the reply:

Thanks for your e-mail and interest in our service. The price of
minibus hire (15 seater minibus) would be 250 euros one way.

Reasonable enough i think.

Not sure about reasonable ........ the 54 seater from Rimini to San Marino return cost €350. I know it's a longer distance but the price is only one way ; do you intend to travel back, if so when and how ?

I sense a sniff of a bit of a killing from the bus company.

Thought that it wasn't good value either.

Plenty of bars anyway.........

I have officially give up.

Despite at least 3 days preliminary work working out various permatations, trying multiple variations when the fixtures did come out, doing feck all real work, and having to rush the Georgia flights which i now have to change i cant make it for anthing less than £300 excl hotels. Mrs Newryrep is also on tour so I cant rough it with 06.00 flights and 18 hrs travellin Will head to Berlin for a few days on the way back instead

For what its worth

Dusseldorf - Belgrade rtn for £74 on a few suitable dates but head is that fried i cant remember think Mon - Fri. Good luck

I doubt it, i never mentioned anything about us being irish fans etc heading to a match, i didnt even mention dates so it's obviously a standard price. Anyway i'll try a few more options.

Could he have picked it up from your e-mail address. Still seems pricey for "standard" price

Does anyone know how far a drive is Podgorica actually from Dubrovnik . Google maps will not give driving directions.

See the RAC route planner in the thread summary thread.

[SuperDub]

Transport links are not great between dubrovnik and Pogrodica.A taxi for 4 is been quoted between €100-€140 each way and thats a standard price been advertised.

Plenty of bars anyway.........

Plenty of dancing opportunities for us all and Pat again then!

[Paulie]

You better believe it! I hope that the nightclubs are nice and dark like the one in Cardiff. The fewer people can see my "dancing" the better.

That must be some banger that can only travel 62 miles in 3 hours

you live in Dublin and are surprised at taking 3 hours to travel 62 miles. Ever been on the M50????

[joe_barry80]

I know it's early but when everyone get their tickets for this game and happen to have any spare please send me a message and I'll take them off your hands. There is usually a list or something for this kind of thing but could not find one. So maybe this could be the start of one.

So it's joe_barry80 + 4 tickets please

Myself, Bear11, the banner Man and 1 other taking the "Saint Tom pilgrimage" route

Dublin - Prague - Tbilisi ex Dublin Thursday 4th Sept 11.00 arrive Tbilisi 03.05 Friday 5th (7 hour lay over in Prague but better have plenty of time - later flight (16.45) ex Dublin leaves it tight)

Tbilisi- Prague ex Tbilisi Sunday 7th Sept 04.05 arrive Prague 05.55.

Booked as a return via e-bookers with Czech Air worked out @ €421.70 - €300 cheaper than 2 seperate legs.

Prague - Belgrade - Podgorica (JAT Airways) ex Prague Sunday 7th Sept 10.40 arrive Podgorica 18.50 (5.40 layover in Belgrade). Cost €202 (and rising fast)

Dubrovnik - Dublin Friday 12th Sept depart 12.40 arriving Dublin 15.05. Cost €245.

I've booked for us all and put it on the plastic. All I can pray for now is that the others pay up

[Bear Eleven]

Anyone got a good link to find Hotels in Podgorica.

[pineapple stu]

I know it's early but...

You really should have stopped there. You're here long enough to know the rules on ticket exchange threads.

Hi B11.....it is VERY difficult ( almost impossible ) to get hotel space in Podgorica....I have been trying for several days without any luck

I wonder if our Green Army will reside near the Coast, say Budva, (where there are agreat deal more hotels ) and try to arrange buses to Podrica for the Game

Hornet just looked at it on Google maps and it's 72.5 Km from Budva to Pod about 1.13 hours. Will most people land in Pod? I was looking at the bus (public?) transport and it doesn't seem to be all that plentiful and/or regular to/from Pod to any place at any time. From previous posts here taxis appear to be a bit of a rip off and even the Dubrovnik to Pod 16 seater

Calling GT and Babysis ?????????
