What are people doing for accommodation in in Nijmegen on Saturday night?
Is there another airline who flies to Charleroi
Ryanair.
I suggested to Pete that we turn up and walk in off the street to any old hotel. Can't be too much going on in Nijmegen that weekend.

I'm doing the exact same as you...staying in the bastion hotel in nijmegen saturday night (the only one which wasn't booked out!) its only 76euro for a double room..its 3kms from d city centre..anyone who's interested check out www.bastionhotel.nl/en..
Citygirl... you're my hero. Thanks.
What, what, what?
The only hotel you could find on the Internet which isn't booked out or the only hotel in town which isn't booked out?

on the net...but one website told me this one was booked out but when i went into its actual website they weren't...spent hours last night searching for hotels,hostels,bed n breakfasts...from what i gather there is only 15 or so hotels and one guesthouse...could be wrong now..
meant to add that i looked up at least 11 hotels last nite n they were booked out accordin to www.book-a-hotel-in-nijmegen.com/en
Right, I'm booked into that hotel now too.
It seems to be twin rooms or single rooms.
As in, if you select 2 people you get 2 beds.
That's cool for lads who are considering sharing.
Made the mistake of booking two of my mates into a double room one night. They were so drunk going to bed that it didn't matter but it's not the ideal situation

Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
Citygirl, there's 3 of us thinking of flying into Charleroi Brussels from Dublin on
Sat. We were thinking of making use of the train system but if we could combine forces, might work out cheaper. What ya think?
i checked this out earlier n it takes bout four and half hours to do it by train cos uve to change three or four times..i might have been lookin at the wrong place but it does warn that the trains are not as modern and as fast as the owns in france..dunno bout ocst but it seems easier at this stage to hire a car
Yes.
At the moment there's just Pete and I in the car.
Niamh may decide to join us too but there would still be room for 2 more.

"Plane
If you come to the Netherlands by air, you can take a train from Schiphol Airport to Duivendrecht (there is a train every thirty minutes), where you change trains. There are direct trains to Nijmegen Central Station every thirty minutes. The journey will take an hour and a half in total.
Train
If you are travelling by train (possibly preceded by a boat journey) from your own country, one of the following situations will apply:
Coming from the south (from Paris, Brussels, etc.), you will have to change trains at the first station in the Netherlands, Roosendaal. You take the inter-city train to Zwolle, and get off in Nijmegen. There is a train every thirty minutes, and the journey will take about an hour and a half
Coming by boat from overseas (England, Ireland), you will probably arrive in Hoek van Holland. At Hoek van Holland you should take the train to Rotterdam Central Station, where you change trains for Breda. In Breda, board the train to Nijmegen. The train journey takes between 2 and a half and 3 hours
Coming from the southeast (Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, etc.), the train will take you through Germany along the Rhine until you arrive in Arnhem. Trains between Arnhem and Nijmegen run every 10-15 minutes. It only takes a quarter of an hour to get from Arnhem to Nijmegen
Coming from the east (northern Germany, Denmark, boat-trains from Scandinavia, Poland, the New Independent States, etc.), the trains’ itinerary will include cities such as Hanover in Germany. Hengelo is the first station in the Netherlands. Do not get off there, but continue for half an hour until you get to Zutphen, where you change trains for Nijmegen. You should arrive in Nijmegen after approximately 40 minutes.
When travelling by train (www.ns.nl/reisinfo), keep three things in mind:
1. Always check at the railway station (or if possible at home) if the scheme mentioned above is still correct.
2. In the Netherlands, trains do not run all night. If you arrive on a very late international train, it is possible that you will not make it to Nijmegen that day. The latest possible arrival time ranges between 0.30 and 1.30 A.M.
3. Do not buy a ticket every time you change trains. In most cases you will be able to buy a ticket to Nijmegen in your hometown. If this is not the case, buy a ticket to Nijmegen at the first station in the Netherlands you enter, regardless of how many times you may have to change trains. This will save you much time (and money). "

No bother. I'm probably go for a train. Less hassel with all that driving on the wrong side of the road...
