Hi Folks
I've had a trip to the Nova Rock Festival in Austria planned with some friends for a while now. However, I now have a blocked ear and have a last ditch syringing appointment at the doctors for Thursday but I fear that if it doesn't clear, I may be stuffed for flying.
So plan B(archetta) is to to take the ferry to Amsterdam and drive there and meet my friends at the other end. Myself and a friend plan to see a gig in Amterdam on Tuesday next week, fly back to Edinburgh and fly out to Bratislva the same day to meet up with our friends for the short trip to the Festival ground in Austria. It sounds nuts I know but the Amsterdam gig we have done on a 'what the hell' basis and we already had our flights to Bratislava booked.
I would need to get the ferry on sunday to meet my friend on monday in Amsterdam. I really don't want to have to drive anywhere near Amsterdam as I hate driving in small-ish towns in Holland nevermind Amsterdam itself. Is there anyway of parking up in a secure car park and getting public transport into the centre? I had a quick look at the Schipol airport site but they are looking for 50 Euro for the three days which seems really steep. Could get the same at Edinburgh airport for about 15 quid
From there it would be a two day trip through Germany to reach final destination in Austria. I know I need a sticker for Austria like in Switzerland. Are these easy to obtain en route as I'll not have time to get one delivered here.
If you guys can think of anymore advice it would be greatly appreciated. I've driven through quite a few countries in Europe before in the B but I guess I'm a little paniced at the short notice of this possibility. :worship:
