    Trying to plan our trip for next year. A flight option home goes thru Zurich wondering if any of you have been to Jungfraujoch in middle of November. We were there in August once and would love to revisit. Any information would be appreciated.

    Dear Bill

    The Jungfrau region is open all year round and all the cableways and trains are in operation.

  2. Please don't go to tea expecting it will be a high tea, or you will be sorely disappointed.

    Afternoon tea is a low tea. You will be served small (cold) sandwiches, and pastries. But there won't be the substantial hot dishes that a high tea would have.

    It is lovely, though. And there are some delicious treats.

     

    I fully agree, tea time on NA is lovely and one reason why I chose her for my next transatlantic cruise leaving in just a few days. I used to cruise mainly on Celebrity, but now, Nieuw Amsterdam has become my favourite.

  3. In case Gixer doesn't respond for a bit, I'll tell you what I learned last year. As of January, 2008, there were *zero* ATMs in Port Stanley. I found the most convenient way to purchase pounds in advance, at least for US residents, is through Wells Fargo Currency Exchange. They had the best rate and lowest fees I found.

     

    I fully agree. I was in Port Stanley in February 2008 and liked the journey so much that I will do it again in a few weeks' time. There are no "ATMs'" in Port Stanley whatsoever. Furthermore, it was a Sunday and the bank was closed. But, we had not problems paying in USdollars. The menue card in the Pubs, and the prices in the shops were quoted in Dollars as well. Also the taxi driver accepted USDollars, i.e. there is no need at all to get Pounds Sterling. What I also noticed was that my cell phone did not work. No sms possible.
