Right. I’ve now almost succeeded in finalising plans for our tour, so I’ll bring you up to date with what I know.
As you know, we’re flying first to Munich, on Monday the 4th.
The flight is at 11.30, so it’s too early to have lunch at the airport.
I suggest we meet there for coffee at
10
Q11
, which should give us plenty of time for breakfast before we leave home.
When we arrive in Munich, we’ll be met at the airport by Claus Bauer. Claus works for a tour operator
Q12
, and he’ll look after us for the time we’ll be in Germany. He’s already liaised with the managers of
the theatres we’re going to visit, and he’s also arranged for an officer of the National Theatre in Munich
to show us round the theatre one afternoon during our stay.
Now last time we discussed this trip, I didn’t have the precise cost for hotel rooms, but now I have.
The
normal rate at the hotel where we’re staying is 150 euros a night for a double room. I’d hoped
to get that down to 120 euros, but in fact I’ve been able to negotiate a rate of 110
Q13
. That’ll be
reflected in the final payment which you’ll need to make by the end of this week.
On Tuesday, the day after our arrival, I had hoped we could sit in on a rehearsal at one of the theatres,
but unfortunately that’s proved very difficult to arrange, so instead we’ll have a coach trip to one of the
amazing castles in the mountains south of Munich.
On Tuesday evening, we’ll all have dinner together in a restaurant near our hotel. From talking to you all
about your preferences, it was clear that a typical local restaurant would be too meat-oriented for some
of you.
