Tourney: Greif Masters 2010 - 1st Bikepolo Tournament Karlsruhe 05-07.02.2010

Todd, if I can get Bill to confirm his dates, I want to book today. Leave the Thursday, come back the Monday.

I will join you.
Give me the details and I'll book straight after you.

Todd's coming on a foreign trip!
Sweet.

It is time.

I will join you.
Give me the details and I'll book straight after you.

You'd be the fifth person. How many people does it take to get discounts on the eurostar?

Looks like its gonna be an epic tourney.

Good luck London.

Hannes - Website/organisation looks great.

Waiting on the word from work. I think you guys should book now, as the special prices go quick, and I'll book when I can.

Are you likely to find out today, Bill?

Are you likely to find out today, Bill?

Maybe. Depends on what my boss is doing. She's always busy so maybe today, or maybe tomorrow.

I just looked at raileurope.co.uk
Each way £56.50 but early starts.
5th-8th
Eurostar - Paris
TGV - Karlsruhe

Well done Toddy!

Yay, Todd!

I said looked not booked..... ;-)
or are you cheering for my finding of cheaper tickets?

Who's booked already and for what times?

Todd, 56 is the one-way price, ie £112 return. Which is still probably cheaper than plane.

Todd, I was just about to. Same trip I think, but using each site... What were the times you saw?

Also, we were thinking of going on the Thursday so we have all Friday for throw-ins..

You can save 20 quid if you don't book the entire journey with rail europe. Eurostar to paris, and then either raileurope or TGV to karlsruhe (same price more or less).

Yes, the earlier the better!

Yeah that's what I meant. I think that's worth it over the plane / getting to airport etc.

What I'm thinking:

There's an £8 booking fee.

What's that cost todd?

here's what I've got:

out:
08:02 - London St Pancras 11:17 - **Paris Nord
**PARIS EST - 04/02/10 15:24 KARLSRUHE HBF - 04/02/10 18:25

back
KARLSRUHE HBF - 08/02/10 13:31 PARIS EST - 08/02/10 16:34
17:13 - Paris Nord 18:29 - **London St Pancras
**
There's a long stop over in paris (4 hours) on the way there.

Total cost is 122 pounds each.

£121 I think.

They're early starts though....

I was getting 56 Euro return for the Paris - Karls bit, and 59GBP for eurostar. And no 4 hour lay-over either. London depart 06whatever, gets in 0954, leave paris est 1124.

Pretty sure that you can collect the TGV tix at the station in Paris, rather than get them posted.

So £121.

6:02 start from London. No big waits.

13:31 return as below.
