Going Holland
On paper the itinerary for our recent trip to Holland didn’t look that promising. Instead of simply taking an Easyjet flight to Amsterdam and booking ourselves into a cheap hotel located comfortably in the centre of the city, it was decided that myself, Graham and Joe would take an overnight ferry to The Hook of Holland and drive to a hotel situated a rather inconvenient 25km north of Amsterdam. It would mean that of our five day break abroad we would spend the equivalent of three days travelling, with only one full day in Holland itself.
On paper this did not look good. Luckily the reality was very different.
I’M ON A PLANE!
A more comfortable flight
As if having to tolerate being trapped in a metal tube with the incessant cackling of L-plate festooned girls away on a hen weekend isn’t bad enough (or indeed, tolerating the elevated levels of testosterone and Stella Artois of blokes on a stag weekend), The European Commission has now ruled that we can all use our mobile telephones on plane flights in European airspace.
