12th-15th September; off the rails

[welshmans_beard]

When The Donald's Iranian FUBAR was really affecting the price of flights a few months back, a unique opportunity arose; for the first time in my many years of looking it was actually cheaper to get the Eurostar!

So, with that in mind, I am away from 12th to 15th September with an outbound train to Rotterdam and a return from Amsterdam.

I've previously only had a couple of hours in Rotterdam on a cruise last year, so this time there's a night and a day to try have a more in-depth look around. I do know there's only a few shops with smoking rooms, does anyone know of any smoke-friendly bars?

Apart from that, it's the old Dam Favourites and probably a trip on the Smokeboat. I had thought to visit Den Haag and Haarlem, but it's an evening arrival and an early-ish departure on the last day so shall instead prioritise the "2 Dams" for this trip.

If anyone is in town, hit me up!

I agree Eurostar has got very pricey, but I absolutely love it. No faffing about at airports and pulls up right in the centre of town

It's always seemed expensive, especially considering the extra travel I'd have to factor in to get to Saint Pancras, but they had a sale on so wasn't too bad; plus the Standard Plus upgrade was only a tenner each way (we're going all posh on this lads haha).

Eurostar seems like a pretty good option if you're down that area. Do you get the eurostar all the way to Rotterdam?

Have a great time only 26 days to go.
