  1. on the train(s): Bremen (visited old friends) -Leer-(bus)-Groningen-Schiphol (to get new passports, what we can't manage in the Dutch embassy in London). All going surprisingly smooth.

    And Super Sparpries ticket for 1 adult + 1 child costs whopping €19. :-) That's for about 350km.

    Then a flight to Luton.

    Eurostar train prohibitively expensive, especially given how much extra we already had to spend thanks to the anno 2024 Dutch passports SNAFU.

    Ferry from Hoek v. Holland a bit cheaper, but too slow, in particular getting from Harwich to Oxford takes ~4 hours. This used to be better, but probably due to ever increasing car enslavement on both sides of the Channel, nobody cares anymore to create reasonable train connections from/to Harwich. #train #Nederlandse_Spoorwegen #Deutsche_Bahn #AboutToday
