Re: Thinking about going on a trip to Europe..
I can recommend Zeeburg to camp I'll a little outside the city centre but it has a fabulous Euro atmosphhttp://www.campingzeeburg.nl/
Vliegenbos is also a great place to camp although you're not allowed to smoke in the cabins (although we did)

Re: Thinking about going on a trip to Europe..
The hostels are booked and the ticket is in order. I have a growing list of things to do and CAA is mailing me maps of each city. I need help getting between the countries though. I want to take the train.
Paris -> Brussels -> Amsterdam
Thats what I'm doing (im flying to paris from manchester)
Someone want to guide me in the right direction?
Re: Thinking about going on a trip to Europe..
I went to Italy four years ago. I think is a beautiful country. You should visit Venecia, Roma and Milan...
Re: Thinking about going on a trip to Europe..
If you are planning on more than just the two rail trips mentioned you should consider a Eurail pass. It does NOT cover Eurostar trains (Paris to Brussels) though you can get greatly reduced fares, but I get the feeling you have to book in advance.
I can't tell if it covers the Thalys trains that run between Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam, that part of the site seems to be down. I think it will but you should check beforehand. Most intercity trains will require a seat reservation which is not covered by the pass.
You can't get the Interrail pass the CG was suggesting, that is only available for residents of the participating countries. If you are only planning rail trips in France, Belgium and Holland then the Eurail pass is cheaper anyway.
Re: Thinking about going on a trip to Europe..
Thanks for the info lynx, I am only taking the train between paris, brussels and amsterdam thought so I guess I wont be getting much of a deal but I have done some more research and found that tickets are around 90 Canadian dollars each (its actually 80, but for 10$ more i can go first class :P)
