Doubt that will ever be beaten

In the '80s I used to hitch from Berlin, which was free. Also one time I got a lift arranged through a Mitfahrzentrale, which is where drivers and passengers meet up for shared lifts in return for the passengers paying for their share of the petrol. When the driver got there, he said he couldn't be bothered to charge either me or the other passenger, so we had a free trip. Happy days.

Got a good deal on the Eurolines bus last time (£5+£4 admin one way, as I was returning via Belgium), but that's only worth it when it's cheap, and at the moment it costs more than the train and ferry, which is absurd. For that matter the train costs more than flying, but I hate flying. Actually, that's not true: I hate buying the ticket online and working out the baggage and getting to the airport and checking in and the security checks and sitting trapped next to someone singing rugby songs with their mates and the identikit food and the identikit staff and the identikit entertainment and getting my luggage back and getting into town from the airport. The only thing I really like about the whole experience is the actual moment of 'whee, I'm in the air!' But that doesn't last, and then it's back to the horror of the experience. So I'm taking the slow route from Harwich to Hoek van Holland, with a cabin for the outward journey, for £117 return. They've got new ferries since I last did it that way, and they're supposed to be spectacular. Well, Stena says so.

would love the "ferry experience" to Holland, but from W Eire turns out is a BIT of a hassle...

the cheapest i got from easy jet was 29 pound each way bargain

Both flights are between 150 and 200€ depending on how early I'm booking.

€112 return for september with aer lingus......

£99 return from glasgow -amsterdam 20th - 24th November with KLM early morning inbound flight late afternoon return.

same flights in april cost be double that but i booked only 1 week in advance.

About £60 return from luton, booked a couple of months ago but basically its free as i'll be bringing 500g of golden virginia home with me so the tax savings effectively pay for my flights there and back

We got ours for £82 rtn each, not bad I thought, flying from Manchester.

July trip, €188.50 R/T train with private sleeper and breakfast - in a box.
Aug trip, €177.25 same as above.
If fuel wasn't so expensive ($7.26gal), I would drive. (400mi/650km-5hrs)
