Amsterdam Holiday Details

[Korn]

Ok, in the intrest of actually organising something...

[Ste]

I'm there.

Other bits and bobs, you can get coaches to and from Gatwick for not that much. Its £21 return ticket from Reading

Any ideas on hotel? I think G/Alex know one which they've used before which has a coffee shop as well, but other suggestions?

And Robby, reckon you can arrange so you're on shift when we come back.

[G]

I'll have a look for accomadation, the place we stayed at before should come to under £20 per person per night and was above a 24 hour coffee shop .

Nice sized rooms, clean, providing you don't mind sligfhtly smoke stained walls.

I'll find details sometime soonish and post up.

I presume Fri - Sun flights are more expensive, cos that'd be better for a lot of people because it means less time off work.

[Ste]

Yeah they are, and you can spend sunday recovering rather than while at work

[Korn]

[Dusty]

I'll be along if I can scrape the money together soon enough.

Is it the end of this week or this month that I need to book by Korn? Your post is somewhat contradictory.

I just dug out a flyer for the hotel/all night coffee shop, it's called the 'Aroza'. The rooms at the front of the building are the best/biggest, you can sit on the window sill with a nice big reefer and dangle your legs over the street below while watching for chicks wandering by. There's no curfew or anything silly like that and an all night bar/coffee shop down stairs, we've stayed there twice and it rocks, much better than anywhere else we've stayed in the Dam.

Sorry I didn't explain it too well

If you want to go, you need to say so by the end of this week - so we have numbers. You then need to get your flight booked by the end of this month (so ok to wait till payday etc) but the longer you wait to book the more you will end up paying, EasyJet prices go up and up the closer you get to the flight date. We're going to start booking our flights next week, once it's clear how many people are going.

Having to book this early is a nono for me I'm afraid. Want to but no way I can afford it so soon.

You can book it later if you want, it just costs more.

[Korn]

Well this has been a spectacular success

Well if you will arrange things the same weekend as I have concerts then neither Jimmy nor I can go.


Plus we're all poor.

If I can in anyway arrange it I'll come, but what with Cadwell fast approaching I've got to really make getting a bike my first priority.

I'll try and sort out for sure if I'll be able to afford it and let you as soon as possible.

Has anyone booked yet?

As I said I'll come if it is financially viable after having purchased a bike/paid for track day.

I'll poke G and see if he's up for it. To be honest too many people in Amsterdam can be a pain, when we went with 10 peeps it was bad enough - we had trouble finding enough spaces on CSs, peeps disagreeing about where to go next and people getting separated while wandering in a overly stoned state. One guy we were with ate some mushrooms and got trapped in the hotel porch for 15 minutes until we went back and let him out.

In a way it'll be better not to have to worry about a large group.

Ok, I poked G and he's ignoring me so some other people need to hassle him.

Finance is your friend.

G is unresponsive to being poked in irc about it. Go find a large stick Dusty

[Robby]

Regrettably I finish work about an hour before you land, so I can't walk through customs with anyone. I'll probably be on shift the day you fly out though. If I feel ultra kind I might be able to grab some express check in vouchers.

[Dusty]

[Ste]

You're meant to poke until an answer is reached

What are peoples view on going on the Friday and back on the Sunday. Might cost a few quid more on flights, but means we only have to use one days holiday.
