see the bicycle lanes?
Very useful piece of metal
I want to go from Zandvoort to Schiphol in the early morning on Saturday, 22nd of May.
The first train I found at the internet arrives at the airport at 7.27 a.m.
Unfortunately that is around 15 minutes to late for me.
Are there any earlier trains I haven´t found yet?
Or are there any other opportunities to make my way from the coast to the airport in the early morning? Buses?
According to a taxi driver the ride would cost 45 euros with him, costs I would like to avoid.
Thanks for answer!!
There is no earlier train on a saturday. Bus would be no options. Leaving the night before is no option either because all hotels near the airport will be more expensive than the taxi ride.
The only travel possibility during the night using public trans port is departing at 1:22 from Zandvoort. Changes nightbusses twice at Haarlem and arrive at Schiphol at 3.54 (after a ridiculous travel of 2:32).
The one connection earlier is taking the last train at 0:58 to the Haarlem Train Station and take the Nightliner N30 bus to Schiphol (arriving at 1:54).
That still leaves you with 5 dull hours at the Airport.

Thank you very much for the answers!
Thinking about taking a taxi to Haarlem and the taking the train, arriving at 7.16 a.m. at Schiphol.
This should be enough time to catch the plan, what do you think?
to ad: The plan (Iberia) leaves at 8 a.m.
The Jordaan is a neighbourhood in Amsterdam. There is an argument about where the name comes from.
Some possibilities:
- the Jordan river
- jardin, the french word for garden.
We took a guided tour through this neighbourhood. Our guide told a lot about the past and the present. In 1,5 hours we knew much about this area and visited places we have never seen before.
Open your eyes, your ears, your sense of smell... the place is a cornucopia of sights, sounds, and fragrance... find that little corner cafe where you can watch the world go by... and believe me, you will see things you've only heard or read about... On my first trip, we arrived around noon, and it proceeded to rain for 30 minutes, and then the sun would shine for 30 minutes, alternating until about 4:00pm when the sky then stayed a brilliant bronze until dark... I walked into my first coffeeshop, the Grasshopper on the Damrak near Centraal Station, with Vinnie Gambini, and we soon sat relishing a Heineken on the outside patio overlooking the water and the Station... I could not believe I was actually here...
The canals really are beautiful. It's like having a hundred miles of shoreline in one city. There are some great cafes and restaurants though many are pricey so I didn't get much of a chance to sample the cuisine.
Visitors to Amsterdam often have the impression that there are bicycles everywhere, but that is not true because street space has been carefully divided up between bicycles, pedestrians, trams and motor vehicles. Just as everyone else has to keep off the bicycle lanes, it is important that we cyclists get off our bikes and walk when we get to one of the clearly marked pedestrian zones, or use a parallel street which will probably be reserved for cyclists.
Second photo: This street, the Reguliersbreestraat between Rembrandtplein and Muntplein, is reserved for pedestrians and trams. No bicycle riding or parking is allowed, and deliveries only from 7 to 11 in the morning.
Third photo: Afstappen means dismount. I usually ignore these signs in Germany, but in the Netherlands they are only put up when there is a very good reason, such as protecting the rights of pedestrians.
Fourth photo: Here cyclists and pedestrians are separately routed around a construction site on an Amsterdam street. I was highly impressed by this, because in Germany most construction sites have no provision for anybody getting by, except automobiles.

Cycling is a wonderful way to get around AMSTERDAM.
To hire a bike look under "fietsen" VERHUUR in the phone book (directory) .
Word of warning:
Lock up your bike at ALL TIMES, as bike-theft is rife in AMSTERDAM.
There is a free "Bicycle-Flat" on the west side of Central Station, and on het ROKIN across the Spui there is an open-air but guarded bike-shed.
