Arr 09 December 2013 16:00 Munich

Should be checked in by half 5Aldi nearby – pick up food and beers for train (stuff for butties including cling film etc). Check for ice so that before the train to amsterdam we can grab some to cool the beersCould pick up enough for Amsterdam too!?Drop stuff off at hotel. Head to Augustiner Keller for the night, which is a 15 minute walk away.

TUESDAYSee what the word is regarding pubs for the day. Head to the Marienplatz we expect, Follow the crowd to pubs/trams for the game. Either that or head to watch City youth vs

WEDNESDAYIf awake in time head to aldi for ice for beers on train to amsterdam.TRAIN FROM MUNICH TO AMSTERDAM IS AT 10:16, gate 22, ICE 880

München Hbf 11.12. ab 10:16 GATE 22Hannover Hbf 11.12. an 14:32 GATE 7 ICE 880

Hannover Hbf 11.12. ab 14:40 GATE 12 IC 144 Amsterdam Centraal 11.12. an 18:59 GATE 14b

So we must get from platform 7 to platform 12 onto IC144 to Amsterdam in 8 minutes.

I asked a Hanover expert on the tripadvisor forum about getting from platform 7 to 12, this was her response:

In Hannover there are escalators down at one end, up the other end of the platform.

if you can, board the train at the back (or close to middle/board restaurant) in Munich to be near the escalators going down, then you need to turn right. If you board at the front,you will have to walk either to the lift, all the way to the escalators down or take the stairs.

For platform 12 to get to the escalators going up you need to turn left (or you take the lift in the middle)

Did you book a saver or a standard fare ticket? If you miss the connection and travel on a saver ticket you can take a later train at no extra charge. Go to the service point to getit confirmed on your ticket that you missed the connection due to delays - it is no requirement but makes life easier.

Additionally you can money refunded - 25% if delayed more than an hour, 50% if more than two hours. No action needed on standard fare, still if you want to claim money backin case of delay get the delay confirmed on ticket, makes it easier.

Also:Make sure you are the door when the train pulls in so that you dont get stuck in this slow moving cue, also if you are stuck or you need to walk far to the stairs then get to theother side of the platform since everyone moves along the train and often the opposit side of the platform is free and you can quickly pass everyone and be downstairs first.

The easiest thing to do and to always be on the safe side is if you miss your connection in Hannover just go to the desk, they will issue you a new ticket and if you had it beforea new seat reservation it is 5 minutes work and you have two hours to kill waiting for your next train anyway. And they can give you the refund form as well which you can thenhand in to them.

I also some research and found the following 2 maps of Hannover train station:

Arrive in Amsterdam at 7PM – 1 hour 45 minutes til the champs league games kick off



AMSTERDAM

Hannover Hbf 11.12. ab 14:40 12Amsterdam Centraal 11.12. an 18:59 14b

Hotel is a 5 minute walk away

Coffee Shop Baba is right nearby (blue cheese)Also coffee shop 36

Greenhouse Effect also very nearCoffee shop babylon is nextdoor

HAVE A LITTLE OGLE IT WOULD BE RUDE NOT TO!Hit Belushis for the happy hour. Can also smoke what we want and they have sport. Globe happy hour is better though so could get there for the footy. After that free forwhatever the night. Could give Skek a go for a bit? Wander for a bit then end up in De Buurvrouw if we ’re up for it, gets good around 1 apparently.

Football is on but it's not the be all and end all, 8:45 the games kick off over there. If we're happy ogling for a bit i wouldn't worry about it. Games on that might be worthwatching are:

Marseille vs Dortmund. Napoli v Arsenal. Ajax are away to Milan - this could complicate things! Barcelona vs Celtic

Stones Cafe is also right by our hotelHotel the globe might be worth a lookWe went to susie's saloon last time which is nearby and will have football on.

Flying Pig Downtown Hostel –

Casablanca – near Skek and Globe area. Lots of karaoke and stuff. Fun to watch. Unlikely to be fun to participate.

"Sandwiches €5.50, salads €7+. Beer €2, wine €3, mixed drinks €6." Reviews say everyone is on coke and its unwelcoming in the evening!

CAFE THE MINDS Right next to Schium"All in all, it’s the perfect setting for the local leftists who show up to pound cheap beer and rant about the latest clash with “The Man,” as well as the squatters and budding

rockers who stick around to party all night"Music includes everything from 60s stoner rock to 70s punk, 80s ska, and 90s skater metal. Pool table and vintage pinball machine. Bee r €2, liquor €2–€3.

further south. Check on fone if necessary. Full of egg chasing wankers mind. Avoid like plague unless happy hour or desperate for sport

Kamer 401 - One of several happening bars along Marnixstraat

One of several happening bars along Marnixstraat, attracting gorgeous-looking, cocktail-drinking young locals who pack the place till late. With DJs providing a funky soundtrack, it’s perfect for preclubbing

drinks. If you can’t breathe or move, see if you can snag a corner at Lux next door – it’s a similar scene, though equally popular. 6pm-1am Wed & Thu, to 3am Fri & Sat

The Last Waterhole is supposed to be a good lively bar with live music, should we end up enar the liedensplein

"Yip I agree the last waterhole is ur best bet cheap drinks chatty barstaff and really good music. Enjoy ally."
