Itinerary

Here’s the itinerary or at least what I hope it will be. I’m booking pretty much everything in advance so its definitely fingers crossed that everything runs more or less to time

• Day 1 (Tuesday, December 3rd)
  • This is about getting from Dromod to Rosslare for the ferry to Cherbourg at 9pm
• Day 2 (Wednesday, December 4th)
  • The ferry should be in at 4pm
  • From there I’ll be headed to the train station to get to Paris
• Day 3 (Thursday, December 5th)
  • In Paris the goal is a lunch with notions . Because treatment has sometimes had small effects on my sense of taste I want to give myself a food treat and where better to try than in France. Goal is to get a lunch booking for the tasting menu in Datil
  • After that it’ll be off to a train again - this will be to Utrecht via Amsterdam
• Day 4 (Friday, December 6th)
  • Potter about in Utrecht with no great plan
  • Dinner in the late afternoon at Blauw
• Day 5 (Saturday, December 7th)
  • Back on the train to make my way to Mannheim
  • This could be interesting as I could only book a bicycle space for Utrecht -> Frankfurt and not Frankfurt -> Mannheim so I’ll have to see how German conductors are about showing up with a bike and no spot booked
  • I’ll also be getting into Mannheim about 6:30pm and the gig starts at 8pm. It does run to 6am so I don’t mind being a bit late
• Day 6 (Sunday, December 8th)
  • I expect to be shattered
• Day 7 (Monday, December 9th)
  • It’s Mannheim -> Brussels so that will be all day on trains so there won’t be anything touristy in Brussles
• Day 8 (Tuesday, December 10th)
  • Brussels -> London on the Eurostar
  • London -> Holyhead
• Day 9 (Wednesday, December 11th)
  • 9am Ferry to Dublin
