Hello Pheobe, and thank you for all the information. Just one question; is there a cheaper way than a taxi to get to where the check in will be taking place? you mention that the bus overshoots our destination, but is the railway station too far/close from that destination, is it doable by walk?
Thank you very much, and see you soon :) Maysara On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 6:09 PM, phoebe ayers <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I am not on the official logistics team so I cannot tell you exactly where > to go when you arrive.
