We're staying in Essen too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No - you could be following us. And you chose not to come with us so we may not want to see you at all!!! Are you going by ferry, train or plane??

Topcat Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Is it really that bad, we'v e not stayed there before? Any suggestions on somewhere else to stay? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We are going to rent an apartment in Dortmund, it is cheaper than a hotel.

At the moment we booked into the Mecure (wih pool) BUT that may change to Holiday Inn due to connections Then picking a place to drive to, possibly Brugge on the Sunday before heading home late Sunday night (Plus Beer and wine stop on route somewhere!!!)

Munners Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 we had booked Gelsenkirchen but on hearing thats its all indurtrial and no night life we cancelled and are now staying in Essen. Nice town and good drinking holes for after the GP's! Just need to find those that sells Jagermister!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Sandie Sorry I didn't get to meet you on the backstraight at Lakeside v Cov recently, when I met LW. I have also taken your advice and have cancelled our hotel in Gelsenkirchen and booked the Holiday Inn in Essen. We are not flying in to Dortmund until Saturday morning though, so not much time for sightseeing This will be the first trip to a European GP for me and my dad, and we're very much looking forward to it. Hopefully see you around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 We're staying in Colonge is anyone else <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We're staying in Cologne but only on the Wednesday night. Flying in early to have a little holiday first. Then in Dusseldorf until the Sunday. One night in Bonn before we fly home on the Monday. Surprised you got a hotel in Cologne as the comedy festival takes place around then. We tried to get a room for the Sunday before flying home but nothing available hence why we're staying in Bonn.

Mad Mitch Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 sounds like we are the only ones actually staying in gelsenkirchen <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You made the right decision M8. GP finishes 10pm ish on a cold Oct night, you,l be tucked up nicely b4 the others have left the Bahnhof. As for staying in a non industrial place, last time I drove through Essen passed the giant Krupp Steel plant which was about 5 miles long. So there wouldnt be much point in you switching to there.
