London to Amsterdam: Overnight Ferry = Booked!

I'll have every mode of transportation covered on this trip. Planes, trains, a helicopter, a boat, cars and bikes. The only thing missing is John Candy and Steve Martin. That's fine though, this isn't a low budget comedy! Someone seriously needs to invent teleportation.

To maximize the time I have and to hit all the countries I want to see, I have to travel as efficiently as possible and that means traveling at night. On the Sunday I visit London, I will head to the Liverpool Street station at 8pm and take a train to Harwich, England to board the Stena Line night ferry which leaves at 10:30pm. The ferry crosses where the North Sea and the English Channel meet. I'll have a bed, bathroom and shower all to myself so I am hoping to get a good nights sleep. I'll be in Amsterdam in time for breakfast!
