Houten help - Snakeday

[gregmonsta]

True!

There's also a train going from Utrecht to Houten (8min trip, €2,20) but you'll have to get bus 47 as well (one bus earlier, in Houten)

Time of arrival when you take the train and the bus ...10:15
Time of arrival when you take the bus from utrecht...10:53

I hate to say it, but the 75 minute wait and the busride might be the best option as Sabine said....
Will you be the only english guy on the coach? Or will there be more visitors for snakeday (that you can follow in a sneaky way )

I'll be doing my best to pick up some essential Dutch from my friends girlfriend before I go ... I still have other languages to fall back on if I get confused. I don't know anyone else that will be travelling my route as yet a Scot on an adventure for sure but I'm pretty handy with a map and a few landmarks. I'm hoping to book the bus seats tomorrow .

[gregmonsta]

Oh well .... plans had to be changed again ... the normal busses wouldn't allow the snakes and I'm not going to risk it ... have booked the more expensive, troublesome route instead

[reptileparadise]

What route is that?
Airplane?

Nope ... back to the original coach to the show ... bus to London followed by whatever I can arrange to meet the minibus in Kent ... followed by spending a night in London on the return journey.

Phew....
Ah well...lets say you'll get the whole snakeday experience!

One hell of a trip for some stupid snakes

Yeah ... .... stupid snakes!!!! .... .... I'll get them back!!! ... I'll keep them awake all night when I'm stuck in a 24hour coffee shop in London

don't you know anyone that knows someone in London who would let you catch a kip on their couch?

[gregmonsta]

they'd have to put up with a big hairy Greg arriving at their door between 1-2am . I think I can manage 6hours in the 24hour facilities the bus back is my bed .

yeah - I've done that sort of thing a few times. It's okay - can even be enjoyable in a weird way

That's what I was thinking, too. It is hard to describe, but somehow rewarding. Bring a good book...
