--- Quote from: apskip on November 14, 2011, 10:13:10 AM ---I am going to make a bold prediction. Transportation from Copenhagen to Belgium will be overnight on the moving pit stop ship Havet.

Since Brussels is land-locked, there are 3 ports where a ship could get close:
Antwerp
Mechelen
Ghent

--- End quote ---

Check out the episode thread, we already know they are going to Billund, which has an international airport, where they could find a flight.

apskip:
kiki,

You are right, but I did not know about the LegoLand photos when i made my prediction. I have revised it to go on one of 3 modes listed above from Copenhagen to Brussels and then probably by plane from Billund to Brussels. Take a look at my revised post above for details.

apskip:
I think we know enough about timing to take a crack at Brussels to Panama City. I will be using July 8 as the time for the flights below.

There are only 2 flights which can make the optimal connection, which is in Amsterdam. They are:

WA1720 0605 0638
WA1722 0838 0914

Any flights after that are not in time to connect to:

KL757 AMS PTY 1153 1658

The question of rail fare Copenhagen to Billund has come up in another thread. I want to address it here.

"6/11/2007

Question

Thanks in advance for your help - I need to know how much I need to budget for a train ticket between Veije and Copenhagen. I think Veije is near Billund (note - it is about 18 miles east).

I plan to arrive to Veije via Billund airport and take a train to Copenhagen - Do you think I need to buy the train ticket in advance? I will be there this Thursday.

Is it expensive to travel by train? How much do you think a one-way ticket should be?

Thanks a lot for all your help.

Answer
Welcome to Denmark !   The weather is excellent right now.
The ticket will cost you dkk 63, or about usd 11."

USD11 would have been maybe 9 euros, which is not 19 euros. I also doubt that the rail fare could have increased that much in either currency in 4 years of little inflation.

apskip:
Getting from Billund to Hamburg is complicated. In fact, it is the most difficult set of transportation connections ever in the Amazing Race if teams do eschew flying. Here are some of the major possibilities (there are plenty more since trains in Europe run about every hour on major routes):

dep. 0535 arr. 1142  Bus 44 > Bus 82 > walk > train RA5105 > train 5517

dep. 0622 arr. 1248 same as above

dep. 0711 arr. 1248 Bus 44 > walk > train RA3717 > train 5219
