Dear fellow participants,
I am looking for someone who might have a car and arrive via Hamburg to Plön and would be willing to give me a lift to Plön. I am happy to contribute to gas costs. Or maybe there are a few of us arriving at the airport and we could book a taxi together?
thanks for a quick note here, Diana
I am referring to the first day on June 2. thanks Diana
Hi Diana,
I have already agreed to take someone else along with me in my car from Groningen, but if there is no one else available I think it will be only a small detour pick you up on the way to Koppelsberg on Saturday the 2nd. It could be tight luggage wise, but I have done it before on other occasions.
Greetings, Ariane
thank you Ariane, thanks for your offer! Let’s see if we can find another volunteer.
Hello, I am planning to travel from the UK to Lübeck via Hamburg on the 31st May. I will stay in Lübeck for a couple of nights and look around. I then plan to fly out of Hamburg on the 3rd June. Does this coincide with anyone else’s plans?
I don’t suppose anyone happens to live in Lübeck or Hamburg and could put me up?
apologies I meant return on the 9th
