ATK go to Amsterdam

[Joe]

Ok, so we've been talking about it for a while, and it started with going to dreamhack through a load of countries. Seing as I've now booked i46, I'm not fussed about dreamhack, but Amsterdam would be pretty damn cool.

Moeshi's mates went and stayed in these cool hotel rooms,

That can have 5 people per room, and it works out to be like £55 a night which as cool as it seems is so much to pay, I reckon if we found a hostel we can stay at for like £10 a night it would be so good!

Also a ferry there ( 1 person with vehicle ) is like £65 each way if we book in advance for the cheapest tickets.

Anyway I just wanted to know how many people would be interested if we did this? Would be a laugh :D

tl;dr - want to go amsterdam travel is around £120, looking for cheap hostels around £10-15 a night - who wants to go?

EDIT: This is a hostel I found that's won an award for being good, works out at like £100 per person for 4 nights, has internet, private bathroom, 6 people per room, NO curfew, and safe places to put your valuables, seems good.

[Isphera]

Margh.

I'm telling you, it's got to be this place :p: http://www.hans-brinker.com/

And yeah I'm defo up for going.

I'd rather pay the same price for the other one, to have a bathroom and not "wake up to the distinct feeling that someone had been in my room" XD

[Calneon]

The one in Joe's edit looks really good. I'd be up for going. My graduation is mid July so would have to plan around that.

[Joe]

Awesome, the plan is to do it around that time, but maybe Easter holidays depending if people can do then

[Chalex4]

Bahhaha this trip would be mental. Totally up for it.

Joe, I think your first hotel/hostel was better. Double beds > bunk beds.

[Target]

Chalex needs a double bed coz he got game, also this is awesome idea, would be awesome if we could actually arrange it :D

[Joe]

Yeah agreed this would be epic :D

And also agree with your point Chalex but it's like £30 more a night :C

[Target]

With bunk beds we have more room for activities, plus, I don't think when it comes to sleepy time we're going to give a fuck if its a bed tbh, its just somewhere to crash for abit, you get me?

[ez64]

Definatly up for this will be driving it as well but will probably rent something as the range is too loud on the motorway in its current state.

[Joe]

awesome :D

[Hutch]

I'd be down for this, but i'd probably have to meet you guys there.

[Isphera]

And also agree with your point Chalex but it's like £30 more a night :C

Seem to have forgot you were speaking to Chalex....

[ez64]

On the holiday note, off to tenerife for the weekend screw the snow ;)

[Joe]

Lol :D

And before this thread dies, we'll probably arrange this for the summer then seeing as a lot of people are interested, what dates are cool for people?

[ez64]

asap for me.

[Marshy]

asap for me.

[Hutch]

this

Sometime in march april is good for me. Or next week

[Calneon]

This needs to be between 14th May and 11th June for me. I can't afford to take a week off of uni at the moment. I'm also planning a trip to America with my dad during that time so I need to know dates for this asap.

[Chazlene]

Just realised, wouldn't inter-railing be far cheaper for this?

[Hutch]

Just realised, wouldn't inter-railing be far cheaper for this?

Flying is far cheaper than interrailing. You have to pay for the eurostar on top of the interrail ticket. Unless you're going to go to France/Belgium as well.

I go with the SA guys every year.. good country.. the first few times that is.. after that Jeroen just does your head in.
