Ok guys MIVW is gonna be on the 13th July this year in Leiden, Netherlands. I'm planning to get the Eurotunnel from Folkestone to Calais on Friday the 11th at around midday to arrive in France early afternoon. Then make the 220 mile drive to Leiden in a leisurely fashion to arrive around 17:30-18:00. I'm booking the Holiday Inn, Leiden and staying there from Friday night through to Monday morning. Then on the Monday morning I'll leave the hotel around 08:00 to arrive at Calais around midday to get the Eurotunnel back to Folkestone to arrive early afternoon. Obviously Leiden is very close to Amsterdam, so there's an opportunity for a huge night out there. I've also never been there before so intend to spend the entirety of Saturday there. I'll be heading over with my good mate Dan, we're gonna share a family room at the Holiday Inn and split all room, fuel and travel cost between us. I've gathered the following prices: Eurotunnel departing Folkestone midday 11th July/Calais midday 14th July - £108 Holiday Inn Leiden, family room, arriving 11th July/departing 14th July - £280 Return fuel bill from Bournemouth at average 40mpg - £100 Show entry estimate £15 per person So for the two of us that works out at £518 (£259 each) If you can share a room and a car with someone then obviously this is a big advantage and makes it a pretty reasonable long weekend away. I'm estimating about £250 each for other expenses including food and drink. Hopefully see some of you guys there! |

I used to enjoy camping, but I'd much rather stay in a comfortable hotel these days! It's worked out a lot cheaper than we'd expected and it coincides with Val and her mate spending the weekend at a health spa, so now all I have to do is make sure my truck is fully ready! Overall its an 800 mile round trip. 170 miles to Folkestone from Bournemouth, and 220 miles from Calais to Leiden. I'm all about relaxing on a road trip, so we'll probably be kicking it along at about 65mph the whole way. Gonna load up the iPod with some killer playlists for the journey. B) |
