Topicbox-Message-UUID: 08a0c7d0-ead4-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Hello! This is my travelling plans from Sweden; Tuesday 28th: Train from Trollh�ttan to Copenhagen. Fly from there to Thessaloniki in Greece (changing flights in Frankfurt am Main). >>From Thessaloniki [???????????] (second largest city in Greece) I'll take the train to Larisa [???????] and from there the train to Volos [?????]. To figure this out, I had to use 1) Thomas Cook rail atlas over Europe 2) www.ose.gr and 3) google translate. As far as I have figured, OSE only show direct connexions, you have to _know_ where to change trains. But then, I don't understand greek. I have yet to decide if I am sleeping one night in Thessaloniki before I go to Volos, or if will try to catch a late train, giving me a whole day to relax in Volos, before the workshop begins. I am thinking of staying at Alexandros hotel instead of Park hotel, as the former seems to be a bit cheaper (I asked Park Hotel about the IWP9 discount, but it was EUR68 a night, and Alexandros was like EUR49). Have not booked yet. My flight back from Thessaloniki is on sunday 2th October before lunch, so I will take the train the day before. I have tried to avoid to tight margins, to minimise the risk of getting stuck somewhere. :-) /Jonas (this is by the way, my first post to this group)
