I'd not heard of T-DOSE before. The schedule looks quite
interesting. How's it going? Have you been before?
Cheers,
Andy

Hi,
I've not been before but some friends had and they recommended it.
It's quite a small conference. They had 3 tracks across 2 days and a
handful of project booths.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm sitting at the airport waiting for my
flight now because the last flight back to the UK leaves at 16:10 on a
Sunday.
Maybe see you there next year.
Regards,
@ndy

Yeah, I might well have a look. I might prefer to do the Harwich
overnight ferry to Hoek van Holland though:

The Netherlands part looks doable in about 2 hours train from Hoek
van Holland - Rotterdam - Eindhoven and £78 return plus £29 each way
for a cabin if going overnight seems pretty cheap.

Andy

In terms of sleep etc, you would probably be better off doing the
Eurostar to Belgium and getting the train from there. On the ferry, even
with a cabin, you have the unknown Channel weather plus the hassles of
immigration and customs on arrival.
I once did Rotterdam - London overnight on the basis that I'd be able to
sleep. No, I just ended up needing to sleep through the following day.
The delays at customs in the early hours didn't help.

Could do; it goes from Brussels up to Rotterdam and then across to
Eindhoven though; over 4 hours, and you'd have to do it while awake
as it doesn't run that late.

Hmm, something to bear in mind. A friend of mine uses the Harwich -
Hook van Holland service a lot and he said it's usually fine and
didn't speak of any customs hassles. I'm not normally one for
getting sea sick. :)
Cheers,
Andy

I did the Harwich to Hook of Holland and reverse a few times a
long time back and remember the weather being pretty grim most times.
And no such comfort as a cabin, just four tier bunks crammed into every
possible corner, luxury was getting a top bunk.

it corrects my memory of the bunks being 4 tier as they were only 3
tier!!
