schwede 0 #33 April 28, 2004 Quote To get to the boogie you really have a lot of options: 1. Ferry from Newcastle to Gothenburg with DFDS Seaway - http://www.dfdsseaways.co.uk/ and then by your car to Lidkoping 2. By air to GOT (Goteborg I'ntl Airport) and then bus or train to Lidkoping. 3. By Air to Gotenburg City Airport (Save) by Ryan Air from Stansted - http://www.ryanair.com/ 4. From Stockholm via train.. Well, I would say that Gothenburg (Göteborg) offers more possibilities to get quicker to Lidköping. Gothenburg - Lidköping is only 120 km's apart.

Maybe. RyanAir was cheaper to Stockholm than Gothenburg (I don't have my umlaut (?) key wired-up) I have some friends in London I'd like to see before the boogie and then my family is coming out to tour England after. Probably round trip on Virgin to London and Ryan air to either G-burg or S-holm.
