car and by ship.
Para 1:
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.
Para 2:
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. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside the city centre and travel in by bus or by train.
Para 3:
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, it will not cost as much as going by train.
Para 4:
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.

You can go from London to Paris by coach, plane or train. Travelling by plane is the fastest but also the most expensive way to get there. It's also less interesting than by coach or by train. The coach is cheaper than the train and the plane, but it's also slower and uncomfortable. The train is the second cheapest and second fastest way to travel. Travelling by train is the most interesting way because you can look out of the window at the countryside.
