Woohoo: soon we can take the train to London in 4 (!) hours

Have you already thought about where the next girls' weekend is going? No? Well, silly. The day we've been waiting for is finally here. Eurostar will run directly from Amsterdam to London starting April 30, NS writes this morning in a press release. And, just a round of applause for this whole development, because the CO2 emissions of a train journey between Amsterdam and London are EIGHTY percent lower per passenger than a flight. Anyway, within four hours with your girls in London then (and if you travel from Rotterdam in 3.5 hours). I'm in. When are we going?
