Bus, Breakfast and Booze in the Barossa [Sun 3Apr16]

[Princess Fiona]

The obvious solution is to just party on from the Friday at Tapas, have the 'cleansers' a la footpath on North Terrace and decant yourself gracefully onto the bus whenever it turns up.

After my recent wine tour experience I think I don't have the stamina for that

Buzz is correct, if you haven't turned your watch back - when the "real" time is 8:00am your watch will still say 9:00am and you have missed the bus.

If the real time is 8 and your watch says 9, you'll have turned up at 7 when your watch said 8.

Are we doing Friday at Tapas as well as Saturday at Tapas? I'm in......

Eek! As if there isn't enough confusion already. Saturday tapas ...Saturday .. and a graceful decanting onto the bus on Sunday.

I'm away from home and free Friday so if anyone has nothing to do....

I (we?) don't get in to somewhat late on Friday, but I could possibly have my arm twisted for a nightcap.

Where is everyone staying?

 

[RooFlyer]

See above - I'll be keeping the concrete warm at the bus stop on Nth Terrace ... but I might find time to sneak over to a room at the Playford, opposite, to freshen up.

Crowne Plaza

Hilton for us. Cancelled our Playford booking.

 

[penegal]

It looks like I will be using the flexible Hilton booking as I haven't done anything else...

Flights the same as I posted a while ago.

Flights booked for 2

Arriving VA243 - 01 APR 20:30
Departing VA242 - 03 APR 19:05

Hotel TBC. I have a flexible Hilton booking for the time being, but may stay elsewhere.

 

[Buzzard]

Wouldn't they be an hour early to the pickup?

You are in deed correct.

Intercontinental, next to the Bus stop

 

[Doug_Westcott]

I'm at the Hilton Saturday & Sunday nights

Bit of a n00b question - is there a dress code?

Not that I am aware of - "Smart casual", etc.

This link will hopefully show you what people wore at last year's event -

I think we've done the same.

 

[penegal]

Arriving tonight, Tried to online check in but got an error, so just left it.

Booking now showing Exec King (up from standard room). Will see if they can do any better on arrival.

Something "spill proof" would be a good start
