The Netherlands & Amsterdam

First trip of the year and its a big on!
My friends Dave and Berry have very kindly invited me to have a day out with them to the Netherlands, which is on my country bucket list.
I haven't been on the boat in years so I'm excited to take in the sea!
The boat is at 6:55am so the guys picked me up at 5am
We waited at the entrance of the boat for about an hour and watched the sunrise.
We managed to get a front row table on the boat,
The sea was so calm and nice and the sun is shining away at us. It took us about an hour and a half to get to France and another hour and a half to get to Sluis.
We're going to a lovely little town called Sluis.
Excited to take in the sights and test out my Dutch!

Once we got off the port in Calais, it is a beautiful sunny day, watching the fields go by on the way to the Netherlands.Read more
