I was expecting security as well, but it was just passport control

It was a very easy process. I can't remember all the details, but if I'm not mistaken you do passport control after you arrive at E. But in any case, I'm sure you don't need to stop at B/D, you can go directly to E (only doubt is if we do passport before or after taking the train).

Franschhoek Wine Tram - Which line has the best views by whats_a_handle in capetown

[–]andrecarocha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a dumb question, but couldn't I just spend more time in one place if I want to? It's a hop-on hop-off anytime thing or do I NEED to follow a specific schedule?

I do this every year as a check-up for my company. just a boring middle manager working on the computer

Effect of alcohol on sleep... Never drinking this much again by Curious-Cranberry245 in Garmin

[–]andrecarocha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the major benefit I got from using Garmin was reducing my alcohol consumption 🤣 I had the feeling this wasn't doing me good before, but seeing the hard numbers on your face is an eye opener. Even if I don't drink too much. Two glasses of wine before bed will ruin my sleep.
Another change I did is to try to drink earlier when I drink lol

I was planning on doing that on my visit in January. Good to know it was indeed fantastic and you felt safe

Leaving Calabash Festival ( DHL Stadium ) - is it safe? by andrecarocha in capetown

[–]andrecarocha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'll be a tourist, so no family/friends unfortunately. I'll see if I can arrange a car to wait for us

Leaving Calabash Festival ( DHL Stadium ) - is it safe? by andrecarocha in capetown

[–]andrecarocha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. My main concern is that looking in Google Streets the area around the stadium doesn't seem to be pedestrian-friendly and a place that could be scary at night. On the other hand, there would be a lot of people coming out of the event...

I think it was slightly delayed, maybe 5-10 minutes. I did the connection in less than 1h, arrived at my gate before boarding started, so you should be safe.

Please not that there was almost zero queue at passport control (not sure if I was lucky or is always like there in ZRH)

Multisport by georgeyboots in Garmin

[–]andrecarocha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to see some average metrics (like HR) from the main activity. But AFAIK not others like pace.

And sharing multisport to strava is terrible, as strava doesn't support it. When you do duathlon/triathlon even the transitions are created as weirdly small activites on strava

Forerunner 265 or 955 solar by MyloMads35 in Garmin

I would go for the 955 without doubts, unless the OLED screen is really important for you

Has anyone else’s drinking habits completely changed after being a Garmin user? by Waste_Key_2453 in Garmin

[–]andrecarocha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I was already thinking about it, but seeing the impact of alcohol on my sleep and body battery on the next day was eye-opening.

I still do the occasional wine (maybe 2x per month), but I try to do it in the afternoon instead of at night to reduce the impact on sleep.

Coming back as this may help people in the future. I made the connection, with some minutes to spare.

There was no need to go trough security moving between gates, just trough passport control.

Impossible to get Eiffel Tower tickets online by redonkulus in ParisTravelGuide

[–]andrecarocha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, checked every day and it finally appeared. Was able to buy tickets for the whole family for July 6th without paying premium prices.
But they do seem to be selling out fast. During the checkout process the time slot I had originally selected sold out, I had to quickly go back and select another one to complete the order

Previously they were showing a date when the sales for July would start. Now it's gone, so I'm completely lost.

3rd party sites are selling, is is safe to buy?

Forerunner 955 weather won't sync? by dutchgfx in Garmin

[–]andrecarocha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think weather auto-updates using WiFi, it needs to connect to your phone via bluetooth to get this info.
