First stop of a packed day as we disembarked in Gouda. This quaint town was rather sleepy as we ambled through streets and canals towards the main square. The 15th Century stadhuis and 17th CenturyEn savoir plus

So, here we go again. Back to the Iona, back to northern Europe. But it's half term and it fits. The travel down was a bit chaotic - delays on the M1 were compounded by match day in Southampton whichEn savoir plus
