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.
