*meet-ups in ITALY!*

spandau alley

Anyone interested in seeing Inter v Chievo? 3pm kick off so plenty of time afterwards to get to the Forum and and beat the general admission entry into the arena for a good view of Pearl Jam.

There is no way you can see the match until the end and then beat the GA at the forum.

Excellent!

Don't know the place, but you're fairly close to the Arena and Piazza Bra'.

Looks like it is a little bit further up north and west from the hotels other jammers who posted here are staying in (can't remember who, sorry!).

That's ok then. What's the area like? Is it within walking distance of the arena/other jammers?

mmm, it's been a while since I've been to Verona but I would say it's a long walk.

Mind you, in my memory Juliet's House/Balcony is just a few steps behind from the Arena, whereas in the map it looks a bit far, so it might not be too bad!

Edit: Helen, it looks like you're fairly close to where crazypjfan and fiancee' are staying.

looks like you're in town, but west of Piazza Bra' where the arena is. Not easy walking distance, as it is a few km.

cool! Thank you so much for all this help! I'll figure it out anyway on the Friday night . So is it best to get a taxi from the airport?

There are buses from the Verona Catullo airport (you're flying there?). they're every 20mins and 4.5 euros.

That's pretty good then. I'm not sure which one I'm flying into - I think it's the one that you said is closest. Would a taxi be expensive do ya know?

Uh, taxis are quite expensive. Then again, after London, it's all relative!

Actually, the Catullo airport is only 12km so it shouldn't be too bad.

So, I'll hit 100 before signing off for now and w/ a totally irrelevant post!

Btw, thanks for helping me reach 100!

I wonder what I'll be next...
