Re: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania-l Digest, Vol 123, Issue 16

Dear Wikimania Team, could it be possible to know the bed assignment before leaving? it would be reassuring to know we have not been “forgotten”. For me it is still not clear how we can come from the bus station. I read there is a bus (which number, in which direction?). As I dont speak italian I would like to be sure it will be easy with the train option. Also is it possible to get an idea of the cost of a taxi to Esino Lario - maybe you could provide a number for the Blablacar mentioned on the web page (I have no clue what a blablacar is) For this we also need a destination address I suppose. Sorry to bother with such questions.

Hi, Is any schedule decided for this event yet? Does this span 4-days (per the subpage<https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programme/Wikimania_Takes_Lake_Como>) or 2-days (per programme page<https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programme>). Also curious to know about the arrangements on participants' travel form Milan to Esino on the 23rd, as the page states that a bus will be arranged. I have booked Ostello Bello Grande in Milan from the 19th to 23rd. Best regards, User:Rehman

Anyone up to split accommodations in/near Esionio Lario?
by Pharos 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

Hi Wikimaniacs, Does anyone have an accommodation in/near Esinio Lario they'd like to split? I realize now I probably should have booked earlier... I would be glad to pay half the cost of a hotel room or airbnb, you can have the bed, and I'll take a couch or even the floor. (Apologies for a non-typical use of the mailing list!) Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos) Wikimedia NYC

transport from Milan airports to Esino Lario
by Iolanda Pensa 04 Jun '16

04 Jun '16

dear all we plan to have direct busses (if there are reservations) to Esino Lario on Tuesday 21st and Thursday 23rd * from Milano Malpensa at 11am, 3 pm and 9pm * from Linate at 3pm * from Orio al serio at 7pm The direct return busses will be on Monday: * To Milano Malpensa at 5am (estimated arrival at 7.30am), 9am (estimated arrival at 11.30am) and 2pm (estimated arrival at 4.30pm) * To Milan at 9am (arrival at 11). On Sunday there is too much traffic and it is much better to use the train from Varenna to Milano Centrale and then trans/public busses to the airports. please contact me also off list if you have any suggestion we will try to accomodate. We can not have busses every 2 hours otherwise the cost for a one way ticket is around 150 euro. We will probably add more busses when Wikimedia Foundation will have figure out the tickets for the scholarship recipients and staff members. Please also consider blablacar (car sharing system) if you travel from Italy or if you rent a car. Regards Iolanda
