travel aboard MS "Maria Franziska" alongside Altstadt to the new "Mediahafen" with the famous Gehry buildings and then some 30 mins down the river to "Kaiserswerth", Short stop.(follow Emperor Barbarossa's tracks to the medieval ruins of his castle ... picturesque houses, idyllic places ... in the typical Lower Rhine countryside).

"Traditional" Farewell @ Bernie's


Total cost will be approximately 125 - 130 € for the abovementioned program incl. food and a few ;) beverages.

Also included is the entrance fees to all Jazzrally events over the entire weekend (except those in the opera house and the Robert Schumann location) Jazzrally Program - (Sorry only German. Opens with Friday. Pls see links on that site for Sat / Sun).

Gisela and I hardly can wait.

I wonder how we can hold back Punki insisting of starting to dance in the middle of a serious jazz concert.

Don't worry Rudi. I'd never ever plan anything "really serious" for a DUS DO. The "Nachtresidenz" is a lounge / nightclub / disco / bar thing and Klaus Doldinger will play in a tent on Burgplatz right in the middle of the Altstadt. There isn't even seats.

Can't Wait!
 

Looks great as always! Looking forward to seeing everyone & experiencing another fab Dus Do! Cheers.

way to go bernie
 

To quote Jerrie "Way to go Bernie" and I agree
:-: :-:

way to go bernie II
 

I too agree with magic agreeing with Jerrie, who, according to magic, is always right. ;)


One question: What time is the 'traditional' farewell ceremony @ bernie's on Sunday?

Jerrie, will you forgive magic111, if he will have a look from time to time at my transportable mini-TV for the European soccer championship games in Portugal?

Will Bernie forgive me if I occasionally look at Rudi's portable mini-tv? Wait, I'm an FTer - I can drink alt, talk miles & watch sports at the same time! :cool:

belle3388, I think it's usually late morning or early aft. He doesn't make it too early am since Sat eve normally goes pretty late - or early, depending how you look at it. Hmm, think 4-5am was last call (or wake-up calls!) last year on Sat eve, er, morning.

Thanks Bernie!!!
 

As always you make this trip so easy.


Mmmm Frankenheim

Me too !
 

Bernie

Looks like I'll be in Europe that weekend, so count me in as a late possibility. I'll just have to check a few things and will confirm ASAP. Sean will be at home in HKG, as this is part of a work trip for me.

Graeme

Woo-hoo! GK might make it. We'll miss Sean, but glad you're a possibility.

Thanks bernie. Looks to be a most well organised Doooo as usual. :p ^ :p
