Well I have booked my flight. Going out on the Saturday 6.40am BA flight out of Heathrow, just hope its not delayed! Is anyone else going to be on that flight? Travelling back on the 11.40 BA back to heathrow.
Planning to stay in the Hotel Freizeit Tempel. Has a Sauna which could be nice on the Sunday morning!

Richard and I will be on that flight too, but travelling back very early on the Monday morning. We are booked into the Hotel Zentral. Not decided yet on whether to hire a car or not..... or will be taking the train

Linda,
Jim, Terry (who one won (oops, spelling) the Satellite last night) will all be at the Hotel Zentral for 3 nights. Quick dinner in Vienna between the Airport & station to Wiener Neustadt to arrive about 1am Friday night/Saturday morning.
No rush Saturday..then it"s cards in the air. ;D

Hey all,
Have been back in England for the past days so haven"t been able to reply to any of the queries you guys have been having (for those who haven"t seen my previous posts, I have been living in Vienna for about a year now).
Things which I have picked up.
If you can get a coach its not that bad for the craic I guess - and if you have got a coach with a couple of drivers then its definately do-able in a day. I drove here myself when I moved, from Colchester, and could"ve dont it in a day but a) was in a Fiat Cinquecento and b) wasn"t so keen on driving in the dark on the other side of the road. I do mean a full day of driving though - probably about 20 hours I think.
As for getting a taxi from Vienna to Wiener Neustadt. Between 5 of you thats not a bad idea. I don"t think it will be 100 Euros, as I just paid that for a taxi from Vienna to Bratislava (about 70km away). Haggle though if you do decide to go for it (I was offered 150 Euros to begin with then he said 100 Euros afterwards so...)
If you are flying directly to Vienna there is something called the CAT (City Airport Train) which goes regularly from Vienna Airport to Landstrasse U-Bahn (underground) which is on the main Underground line of Vienna. For a return ticket (with 3 days unlimited travel in Vienna) I think its 18 Euros.
Dont worry about speaking the lingo - a lot of people speak English over here (although not very many people over 60...)
For all you smokers - feel free to light up anywhere and everywhere.
Beer is dead cheap. And dead good as well.
If anyone needs a couch to sleep on i"ll have moved apartment by then and am in walking distance of many different amenities.
Any other questions just let me know.
Cheers,
Rich
