Mark, that is a lot of money. Not that I dont believe you, but it would be interesting to see a rough breakdown of the sums. I recon about 1/5th of that will get me to Zandvoort, pay for the camping (we'll live in a tent and make most of the food ourself) and take us back again. I am not taking deprecation on the car, car insurance etc. into the equation with that sum.
Is the ferry really that expensive? Where is the big money going? Not trying to be clever, but if this is going to cost you EUR2100, the EUR100 entry fee is a relatively minor sum. But it do add up of course..

If I had to choose between Zandvoort in August and Aruba in November, it would not be hard to decide <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
