You sound Dutch 8-). I use to speak that language when I was younger.
It takes the Shuttle 1-2 days after launch to arrive at the ISS. This is not because the ISS is very far, but because there are several things to be done before arrival.
One important thing is to check the condition of the Thermal Protection System (tiles).
Before arrival, Shuttle does the famous "pirouette" manuever, and gets photographed by the ISS crew.
