At GUADEC!!
Posted by Sayamindu 1 year, 3 months ago
Finally arrived at GUADEC after a 13 hour flight from Kolkata (excluding a 3 hour break at the Dubai airport). I don’t know if it will help, but here are the directions I followed to go from the airport (BHX) to the Etap hotel.
- Get the connecting Rail Link to the rail station near the airport (it’s a free service)
- Buy a ticket to the New Street Station and ask for the platform number
- Get down at New Street Station and get out via the main exits
- Follow the taxi line (I didn’t get a taxi though)
- Once you reach the intersection, turn right
- Keep walking till you reach a roundabout with a Chinese looking structure in the middle
- Turn left
- You’ll be able to see the Etap Hotel on the other side of the road after walking for a few minutes - use the subway to cross the street
If you get lost, ask for the Etap hotel - people did not seem to know Great Colmore Street - and apparently there’s a Colmore Row somewhere in the other end of the city, as Shreyas found out the hard way.
