A belated Happy New Year to all!
The idea of an English-speakers meeting in Trier has been mooted for some time now but doesn't ever come to realisation so here's my suggestion:
A meeting in Trier on a date to be decided, say Saturday 1st or 7th Feb 2009.
Participants meet up late morning or mid-afternoon, say 11 or 3 o'clock near the Porta Nigra. Optional here I'd suggest a walking, sightseeing tour of the city, in English. The last time I did this we had as guide a very well informed German lady, married to a retired US serviceman, and it was excellent, but cold.
The tour should end approx. 2 hours later at the Dom followed by drinks at Walderdorffs (good wine, good snacks, good coffee) opposite.
Thereafter we disperse homeward.
There would be some communal costs arising from the tour, which from memory is about Eur 100 - 150
(details www.tit.de). For the salacious among us, I don't know who came up with that web address, but I'll bet it guarantees Trier a steady number of online visitors.
Who's game? Any other suggestions? Any other venues?
