最好的方式
Best answer: There are four ways to travel.
A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more
expensive. When you go by train, buy your ticket a long time before you travel. It is usually cheaper.
You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the most expensive. Book your ticket before you book your hotel.
/ k t /n. 长途汽车；长途客车
Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside
the city centre and travel in by bus or by train.
The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest, but in summer, the coaches sometimes get crowded! And it takes you about twelve hours
to get there. However,① it will not cost as much as going by train.②
变得拥挤
Finally, you can fly. It is the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.
Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip!

Travelling by train is the most interesting way because you can look out of the window at the countryside.
