Branners Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Costs are working out to around £245, that covers the Eurotunnel and the hotel with twin/double room including breakfast for 2 nights. Buffet is extra at £16 per person per night. So, 2 people sharing a twin room and having buffet for the 2 nights would be... £245+£64 (£16x4) = £309 1 person in a twin or double room with buffet 2 nights would be...£245+£32 = £277 On top of that you would need to cover your fuel (its about 600 miles so allow 3 tank fulls), your beer (its 2 nights so allow 2 skinfulls) and your lunches. Those costs are not final, but give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Bazz Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) I'm still not completely sure I could get away with this, but I'm thinking about building this in to the Saturday afternoon route!! http://goo.gl/maps/FzbY9 I think we'll be fine driving those routes in Amsterdam. Most tourists take the public transport or tourbusses anyway, most of the traffic will be situated around Amsterdam Central Station but it's nothing like the Brussels traffic especially not on a saturday.

Branners Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 I think it would certainly get a load of attention, and we get to play in the 2 tunnels. I will see if I can work it in to the routes without losing too much time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Good job my mate went for another pee and we lost the group and missed all the traffic!! Is their a certainly time it is quite empty on the Sat traffic wise? Last DB me & Phil (Huy) went into Brussels town centre late in the evening. The cars got SO MUCH attention. Loads of people taking pictures, few cheers & a lot of smiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 To be fair, the Belgiumese loved it! Loads of attention when we pulled up at the beach too....although that might have been France! I was watching the oil level, not the road signs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
