k100d · 03-18-2009, 02:16 PM

easyjet/ryanair or the continental bus services

I was traveling in Europe 10 years ago and the France England ferries combined with a train were pretty cheap. Slow, but might worth looking into.

I did that 35 years ago, going from London to Paris. It was an overnight thing for $25.00.

Ferry: Dower-Calais.
Much more oportunities to shoot pictures than sitting on an airplane (or going through a tunnel).

Flying is going to be the cheapest option seeing as you gave no specific location in Europe. As long as there is a direct flight, costs are reasonable (especially if you can book in advance), there are quite a few bargain airlines operating in Europe.

If you are driving, Calais-Dover ferry is the cheapest option.

Well, there is always hitch hiking all the way to the ferry...

It would depend on how many pieces they find

Don't forget your passport/visa when you take the swim.

Apparently, goose grease is proscribed as an aid to keeping warm in the English Channel/La Mer.

Alfisti · 03-19-2009, 11:53 AM

Ryanair or easyjet.

Other options include an all in one multi city ticket using a large carrier like Lufthansa or whoever you are heading over with.

Fast trains in Europe are scary expensive.
