Hi all,
Next year I will be spending 6 months working in a YMCA camp in Southern England and afterwards a mate and I will be heading over to Europe. I have family in Germany and have already planned to meet up with some members (you know who you are).
I do need some help, We are planning on doing a fair bit of travelling and were wondering what you suggest is the best way of getting around really really cheap.
We hope to go from Rotterdam to Copenhagen to Berlin, to Nuremberg then to France and Belgium. I know the distances are really big but we will probably stop off along the way too.(this is not the final intenery)
TIA

Ola Andy


You are going to Holland and you are not stopping by in Amsterdam??? A visit to Holland is not complete when you have seen the Capitol here

Interrail might be the cheapest way to travel, but at bit unflexible - especially if you want to see stuff away from the rails ...

DOH!, How could i forget Robert, Yes we are planning on visiting Amsterdam.
Thanks Jan, Do you have a website for interail. we would prefer a pass of some sort.

Hi Andy, I did a little travelling around Europe about 10 years ago and we went everywhere by train.
We went through Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Holland ( I agree Robert, you MUST visit Amsterdam) France and England. My only regret is not having the time to see everything we wanted to so I will be going back again one day.

Happy travels.

Thanks, Neil it looks like travelling by train will be the easiest and cheapest

Hey Andy, where in 'Southern England' will you be?

Hi Dave,
I am going to be at YMCA Fairthorne Manor, which is 15 minutes from a little village called Botley which in turn is about 30 or 40 minutes North of Southampton

About 70 miles from me at best guess then.

Where abouts are you in South East England Dave? I have already planned to meet Peter as hes only about 40 miles North of me in Reading

In Southwater, just south of Horsham in the middle of West Sussex.

The easiest way to travel in europe is by train. (less expensive)
