[FOSS4G2016] Traveling with friends

[martin at foss4g2016.org]

Hi Guido,

this hint for you, travelling via Düsseldorf Airport:

If you take a train to Bonn, don't take a train to "Siegburg/Bonn". This 
sometimes seems to be very fast, but you would have to change there, 
wait for a tram and then take that slow tram for half an hour extra tour 
to Bonn City!

Instead take the train to "Bonn Hbf" (or one of the other small stations 
within Bonn - if your accomodation is closer to one of those). There 
will be up to four connections per hour, depending on time of day.

Fast trains (ICE, EC, IC) are a little bit more expensive and you may 
have to change once more in Düsseldorf Hbf or Köln Hbf (Cologne). 
RE-trains are a little bit slower - but cheaper and some don't need a 
change.
Regardless which train you take: it will need a little bit more than an 
hour to Bonn.

Have a good trip!
