As I mentioned in the e-mail before this one:

"I think we still have 1 space left in our house of the official 
4. I will have to ask Kristin if we can make that 2.

If that's going to be a problem (space wise), I might have a 
couple of friends in the neighbourhood who can spare a room for a 
couple of days."

Plus we're going to get us a couple of new aerobeds. Anyways, I'm 
sure we can work something out :-)

BTW: did you search for "bed and breakfast wageningen?" I just 
found out there's at least 3 or 4 in the vivinity. I never knew 
that, so perhaps they still have room. Tony HB is in the 
"Willemshoeve".

There is some info here:

You can buy tickets in the yellow/blue machines in the big hall 
at Schiphol. If your bank card doesn't work, you will need to go 
to the information desk, they will explain everything.

Second class for two adults is €14,10 per person. Takes about 
60-75 minutes. 1 change at Utrecht.
In Ede-Wageningen you need to take the bus, or when you're lucky, 
I have time to pick you up.

Check B&B. There are a couple in the vivinity.
