tUt, that's fantastic input, thank you very much indeed.
1) Jan Jesenius, thanks
2) our mission at Vienna is to go to st stephens, have some pastry and coffee, and go. So wouldnt staying on till Westbahnhof be the logical route for that ? Ah I see, it comes in on the south of the city, so we've got a tube to catch anyway so we just jump off at Meidling get a U4 train to Karslplatz then a U2 to Stephanplaz,
3) thanks. we'll look at this. obviously the whole point of going via pertzalka is that it forces us to go across town, so may be a U3 stephenplaz to simmering, I beleive sudbahnhof is being renovated or rather massively changed right now so it might not be worth using. this doesnt give us much time to "enjoy" Bratislava but this one is only on so we can tick off another capital.
4) thanks, as you can imagine I love all these train names
5) late, but not too late, will be good
6) sorry, typo, thanks.
7) the booking of the 3 southerly sleepers, skopje and split in particular but also budapest-bucharest, is my major concern, there will be at least 10 of us, so if we arent booked successfully it wil become a real mess. we are using Ffestiniog travels in UK who seem confident they can make these things happen. We dont go till next year of course. and wil be booking it as soon as it's possible.
8 ) sure, we have plenty of time. we had planned to take that lovely tram down from sezana but we just cant fit it in, it will be nice to land at Venice before dark and see the city move into night.
thank you very much indeed. I'll go think about Bratislava some more.
