Thank you. I understand that. But we have been told that buses would be provided, and my concern is - partly - with lack of clarity about how, and when, to book for them, or whether the booking had been made already. (I have, after all, received two emails today telling me, wrongly it seems, that I already have a seat...) Can you explain why your "Hello WMF Full and Partial Scholarship Recipients" mail, which I quoted, said I have "a pre-paid, reserved seat on the direct shuttle buses"? Will you now send a correction to all recipients, as some may not be reading this list? > If you didn't buy a ticket on > Eventbrite that the conference organizers offered for the direct shuttle > (the offer was on the registration page but is no longer operable), I don't believe I was aware of that offer, until the 6th June, when I posted about it to this list; and again on 9th June (my posts being unanswered until today). > then I > think you might want to wait to hear from the conference organizers about > whether or not there will be extra seats available on those shuttles for > people who want to pay/arrange now or when they get there. I have been asking about that since the 6th June (see above) and more than once today. the responses have, as already explained, been contradictory. I certainly do not "want to wait" any longer - as I said earlier, I need to have this tied up soon. Furthermore, I have only seen references to booking /return/ tickets. My need is, as stated previously, only in one direction, on the 27th. Will that be possible? > If you end up not being able to obtain a ride on the direct shuttle, it's > really pretty straightforward to do the transport from the airports to Esino > Lario via public transportation. I'm not finding it straightforward; see my comments made today about lack of clarity regarding buses from Varenna-Esino-Perledo station to Esino Lario (and the reverse), and the claim that prior booking for these is required. This also remains unresolved. -- Andy Mabbett _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
