So it may seem like a strange idea to go to Amsterdam again, but frankly to take a holiday on this god damned island you have to pay through the nose. To book an apartment in Amsterdam for 10 days is cheaper than a campsite in Devon. I thought I found the ticket with a £225 VW combi for a week, but it turned out to be a 2 day rate. Over £700 a week! I also looked into Scotland, but being vehicle-less is a bit of a problem once again, and I think a tent might not be the best way to enjoy it.

Breakdown:
Eurostar to Amsterdam (and back): £100
Accommodation in Amsterdam 7-10 days: £200
Food etc: £100-200

Now that's the same price as just getting accommodation in the UK, PLUS I would have to hire a car to get there and back + petrol. . . .
I asked a few people about hitchhiking in the UK and I got a lot of queer looks and horrified expressions which makes me think that it could be a fruitless endeavor. All this is happening after Spain so at least I should have a tan?
