Independent Travel Module

Part of the global leadership course requires that COE students experience an independent travel module - destinations: Amsterdam and Antwerp. They were to research sites and make logistical arrangements from our departure locations starting with: (1) University of Liverpool campus; to the (2) Liverpool John Lennon international airport; to (3) Amsterdam Schipol airport; (4) to Antwerp's Central Station (just across the street from our hotel and one of the world's oldest zoos); (5) to Amsterdams Centraal Station; (6)to the stop for Hotel Casa 400. Arriving in Amsterdam, the decision to purchase group tickets vs individual tickets was made for us in that we had less than 4 minutes to catch the next train out, some people still had to exchange Pounds for Euros before any purchase could be made. 4 minutes was not enough time for a group of 24. In the end, each was responsible for procuring their own ticket. The result was a myriad of combinations: round trip tickets to Schipol at the weekender rate to tickets that returned from Antwerp and was valid thru the Amsterdam Centraal Station.
