I can’t imagine it can’t be cheaper. I also searched 2 hours for bus and/or international train, but can’t find shit! grrrr
update: 2 May 2005. Found flight alternatives! Thanks to prikbord.nl

Total Costs
# Accommodation costs (including travel insurance): 140 euro, 10% Deposit / Downpayment of of 14 euro => USD21.07 (incl. 2 USD for service charged)
# Travel Insurance @ HostelWorld: 18.75 USD … Unive is cheaper! en kan online!
# Expenses: ehh I dunno … Hehe what exactly are we/am I going to do all day? You seem pretty busy most of the time, don’t want to interrupt your schedule.# train + plane tickets: 312 euro
Total sum, about 450 euro excluding expenses (trips, lunch, dinner, etc.) … which is still pretty cool considering the money I save (about 400 euro) by going to a Hostel instead of a Hotel!
If the flight was cheaper I could almost come over every weekend … hahaha
