  1. Oh, look. I got a response already from "Frosti" in Iceland. No decision making on where to go.....easy!

     

    It´s a small gay scene up here and Kiki is the only gay bar in town, so go for that one. There is a nice bar on the groundfloor called Bravo also worht checking out as many start there before going on upstairs to party at Kiki.

     

     

    Have fun while here!

  2. Hi Everyone,

    Well, on gayice.is they show Club Kiki bar below. Aren't we lucky we're in Reykjavik on a Friday if they truly are open only Fri and Sat nights? I suspect some of you may want to go out. I do! I had to copy and paste "Reykjavik." Can never spell it for the life of me. Get your Icelandic Krona ready from the ATM during the day! I also emailed the "contact us" info email on that site to ask about other bars or nightlife (well, that would be a bar, right?). I think there may be that one only, that's all they had listed.

    P.S. Sunrise is 3:01 and sunset 12:01 the day we are there.

    Club Kiki, the newest Queer Club in Reykjavik located on Laugavegur 22, the queerest corner in Reykjavik, where many of Reykjavik´s best known gay club have had its home in the past. Kiki offers good music, fun atmo and nice crowd. Kiki is open Fridays and Saturdays from 11 pm to 4.30 am.

  3. We are also staying at the Pier but only the night before the cruise. We might be up for a drink just depending on how jet lagged we are! We are driving in to Harwich late afternoon so if so we can we would love to join you! Jamey & Marc

     

     

    Jamey and Marc,

    Email me before the trip. cmy1971c@aol.com. We can exchange info and maybe touch base after you check in and maybe have at least one drink. Leaving The Pier about 7:30 for the meet and greet dinner that Peterhof is hosting at The Mayflower restaurant. Meeting Karen (danskerlady from the other board) from CT there to go together in a cab. She's staying the night before at The Pier. Maybe we can meet before that (or after if you get your second wind!). I'll be on email there (I think). Have to find out if my new phone will work there (but if they have wifi then I'm OK I guess). And don't forget your adapters for chargers and other electrical devices you may bring...at least for the hotel! Where from in NJ? North Haledon here (next to Wayne).

    P.S. Not doing formal night at this point. If I decide day of getting on board, I may do the tux package and have them provide me everything. Just see how I feel! I haven't worn a tux since senior prom. I'm sure RobandJames will look dapper! Don't know how many of us are in the group for PP. Last summer on Mediterranean was about 50 I'd say.

  4. Hey Everyone,

    Are any of you staying in Harwich night before cruise and up for a small group for have some drinks? I'm going to Peterhofs dinner at 8:00 (Mayflower Restaurant at the Premier Inn). I was thinking afterwards. What are you all up? I figured a group from this board might be more likely to go out for a few drinks! Although who knows who from dinner might be up for some drinks, too

    Oh, I'm the The Pier Hotel 2 nights before the cruise.

  5. Hi girls and guys, a few more people coming on the board, huh?

     

    Well, I did some research on transport to and from airports: londontoolkit.com is a good resource. I am arriving at Heathrow 2 days before the cruise so I'm taking the Heathrow Express train to Paddington, cab to Liverpool Street, then the train from Liverpool Street to Harwich Town. Staying 2 nights at The Pier Hotel. Peterhof on the main board is organizing a dinner the night before the cruise in the restaurant adjacent to it (Brewers Fayre). I signed up, should be nice to meet some of the cruisers and mabye bump into others as I think many seem to be staying there. Taking train back after cruise for a few days in London. Granted, my schedule is more laid back. Lots of good info on londontoolkit though, that's where I found out all about the trains and so forth. Just have to get my flights now.

     

    I see they posted the non-stop cruise train schedule, too. Or the train website may be a good place to look http://www.greateranglia.co.uk/

     

    I'm single, traveling solo and look forward to this trip. This is my 4th Pied Piper (did 2 Post Thanksgiving and last summer Greek Isles/Turkey out of Rome).

  6. Hey everyone, just found this board. Looking forward to the cruise. I'm staying 2 nights prior to the cruise in Harwich at The Pier. I want to start the vacation out at a relaxing pace with the train trip from Heathrow and all and just soak in the town first. Looks like a quaint little town. Then 3 nights in London after before going home. Pied Piper is a good trip. This will be my 4th. For those doing it first time, I think you'll like it.
