We looked at it. There’s certainly nothing wrong with flying, and in fact I don’t know that the train was competitively priced (Lisa can speak better to that). Taking the train came down to a couple of things. 1 – doing the travel overnight felt efficient. Might not have been, but felt like it. Not just for traveling while sleeping, but also the relative convenience of getting on and off trains vs. planes as far as location. We literally walked ~5 minutes from our hotel to the train station, and only another minute or so to be on our platform. No security lines, bag check etc… and the drop off was much more central that the airport in Amsterdam. 2) We like trains. 🙂 Not much argument to have when it’s a romantic notion rather than a cogent explanation, know what I mean?
