hello all,
making a brief visit in london and then thought I'd take a ferry over to dam for the next leg of the journey. Seems like a cool experience rather than just flying. Does anyone know of the cost and duration of such a ferry ride (economy class). Also, where would be a good place to book a ticket? thanks,

Stena operate both a regular ferry service and a high speed ferry (HSS) from Harwich to Hoek van Holland (about a 1:30 - 2:00 drive from Amsterdam).

An even cooler option IMHO is the Eurostar which leaves from London's Waterloo station. It goes to Brussels via Paris. From Brussels you can take either a special Thalys train (a bit faster and a lot prettier) or a regular international trein up to Amsterdam.
Or maybe stop off in Paris and Brussels on the way up?

Anyway, have fun no matter which you choose!
