I think the tarantula barn coach is going to other shows and their website will be up in the new year

I go to Houten & Hamm and Hamm is only 2 hours longer in the car from Houten with the route I take so I guess it depends which way you go.

usually it's 3 hours from the tunnel to houten and 6 from tunnel to hamm but it does depend on traffic and of course how fast your pre-pared to go on the auto-ban (not sure how to spell that lol)

I go via Hook of Holland and it's 1 hour for Houten and 3 for Hamm

ah the long ferry ride... that's never going to happen as markus gets VERY sea sick!!! he even doesn't feel all that well on the tunnel because of the rocking, so it's tunnel only I'm affraid.

Thaeres only 85 miles differance in hamm and houten, so about 1 1/2 hours by coach

[gecko-kus]

wow it seems to take us a lot longer!!!

[purejurrasic]

dont forget, the bulk of the cost is not the fuel for those extra miles.

In our case, there is not that much difference in the costings, coach still comes from manchester, still has two drivers, still goes on the same train.
