Poor @KARFA and @LondonAndy have a few gatecrashers

@LondonAndy's quiet weekend in Sofia (SOF).

EW9912 12:55-16:30 Cymro

Optional walking tour - needs advance reservation: It is possible to have a private tour through 365association.com (https://freesofiatour.com/). They will meet us at the Hilton at c. 15.00 (to allow for slight delays) on Saturday and will give a 2.5hr tour for an all-in cost of €130/BGN260. I'd suggest that if there are 10 or more committed to splitting the cost then I'll book. Please put your name below if you are interested:

Should definitely be a place on return bus 2 as I only need the outward leg, as I'm staying on for a few days. Don't think I can edit the wiki to correct. Either I've not yet got enough posts or I'm technically inept. Probably both.

90 posts before you can edit Wikis, I think.

I've edited your entry for you and have added myself to bus 2 for the return only.

Have added myself as well. Would it make sense to split minibus #2 into a minibus #2 going TIA–HGI and a minibus #3 going HGI–TIA? Or is there a reason for it being shown as it is?

Is this thread a windup? People can't seriously be considering flying around for no real reason.

Please folks, get a grip, this is serious.

Yes we know I'm not sure for 100% if I'm going I will make decision 1-2 days before...
this is not thread about Corona virus and if I should travel or not....everybody is resonsible for their life


Yesterday Mercal said what in 2 years 60-70% population will get this virus...
still in UK every day 10000 people will die (statistic 60milions....) yesterday 2 died becouse of Corona but also have other conditions...

In my opinion mother nature just developed something to kill people with conditions becouse it's to many on Earth.

Maybe keep the covid 19 worries to appropriate threads and dedicated forums?

The decision may be made for us... cases now showing up in Albania, and the response has been swift: all bars, cafes and restaurants in Tirana closed indefinitely; for now (until Sunday, but presumably will persist) no private vehicles allowed in Tirana and public transport suspended.

Wow! I agree that I can't see the point of this if it only lasts until Sunday, but these are strange times.

We have just arrived at HGI in Tirana and I can confirm they are in lock down from Friday till Sunday. We have a flight booked to return Saturday but not 100% sure we can get a taxi to the airport as nobody will be allowed to leave Tirana even for the airport.
The receptionist here thinks we might get to the airport as we have a flight booked, but it cant be guaranteed.
Although it's currently till Sunday they think it could be continued.
They are really just trying to stop people travelling from town to town. But nobody really knows anything. All guess work.
Hope my information is helpful.

We now have an update. Just received an email from BA advising us we can get to the airport as long as we have documents proving our travel plans.

Well folks, I am out. My JAX-EWR-VIE-TIA-FRA-ORD-JAX itinerary is just a tad ambitious given the circumstances.

I am looking forward to a helluva POST corona DO.
