As for blindfolding Rudi, I think that will be extremely hard if not
impossible. I was thinking we could get something like this:
http://etsyhcteam.blogspot.se/2010/12/just-in-case-you-get-chilly-while-you.html
But that would not be very social because he would need to have it on for
1h and we would not interact with him.
I don't know if it's possible to get a coupe in the train. If so, we can
put plastic bags on the windows (pull on curtains) and usually you can also
turn of the speaker in those, so we would be quite OK. If not, all of that
might be a bit harder, so let's be prepared for it to fail anyhow.
Specially since he's not stupid and if you say that many bachelor parties
wanted to go to Bratislava, well, it will be kind of obvious.
