Money

Please bring enough cash. Once in Neukirchen and surrounds, you will NOT be able to pay for anything by card.

You can pay by card in Nuremberg, but overall, the level of card usage in Germany is not as high as here. You cannot get cash back in a shop for instance.

There is an ATM at Nuremberg Airport, which should accept the usual cards. There is another ATM in Neukirchen, but it may be more limited with regards to the cards it takes. So fill yourself up with Euros before you get to the urdy-gurdy bit.

Don't worry about it getting nicked, crime is very low and people leave things about. Also everyone else pays by cash, so really, you'll be fine.

Weather

It's very cold. It snowed in Nuremberg the other day, so bring warm clothing.

You will be in the country, but there is heating. :-)

Arrivals in Frankfurt

If you are landing in Frankfurt, your journey time to Neukirchen will be approximately 3 hours on the fast train. For best deals on train tickets, please book at least three days in advance on www.diebahn.de

If you would prefer the cheaper but longer version, you can take a local service from the airport to Kahl am Main. Then purchase a Bavaria Ticket and continue your journey. It will be a lot cheaper, especially if there are a number of you, but will take around 6 hours.

If you have trouble booking or organising your train, give us a shout.

Arrivals and Accommodation

I've just posted everyone's info re arrival times and accommodation dates booked for you.

Can you please check that all your details are correct and let me know by email if you need any changes made.

You can also see when other people are arriving, so it may be an idea if you band together and take the train on the Bavaria Ticket. As it allows up to 4 adults to travel together for just €26, it would definitely be worth it.

Can't wait to see you all! Not much longer to go!

Please send either of us a text once you're close. If you arrive by train and you are staying in Oed, we need to organise a lift for you. Please give us notice when you're on the train. If you stay in Neukirchen, you can walk from the train station. It's a 2 minute walk.

If you get stuck, call us! If the mobile goes to answerphone, try the landline on +49 (0)9663 1804.

We'll do a spot of packing now...
