Thanks for that - I've been looking at costs/times and Harwich to the Hook looks quite promising. An on-line quote gave a price of £292 return were I to travel tomorrow! And then only about 4 hours to Bremen...
Which means that, door-to-door, it is a more agreeable concept than air travel. And, very probably, also quicker given the delays for convict-level search going on at airports at the moment.
Air travel may soon have had its day. It is getting to be an intolerable embuggerance for the business traveller.......
One wonders whether airline executives are reading this?
....and so much for the A380!
