We learnt today its worth checking if Southampton FC are playing at home on the same day a 5000-strong cruise ship is departing, because the traffic in Southampton was rather chaotic!
Despite theWeiterlesen

Today is our first , and now technically only, day at sea. We were due a second day at sea on Tuesday. However, our first stop of Hamburg was replaced at last minute with Bremerhaven, which we willWeiterlesen

Our pilot for Bremerhaven arrived on board by helicopter, apparently the norm for this port. Alas, as it was in the small hours of the morning, we didn't see it. Even if it hadn't been, guests wereWeiterlesen

We planned an afternoon in the museums of Bremerhaven, but most of the museums here were closed because it was a Monday. So instead we had a pleasant meander through the docks, looking at theWeiterlesen

We departed Breverhamen in the morning, and headed towards Rotterdam. The ship had to turn in the river with the aid of tugs before we could leave which was interesting to watch. Much of the day wasWeiterlesen

Rotterdam cruise terminal is quite far inland, so it was fascinating at various points in the middle of the night to see what we were sailing by in a fairly narrow channel. The last two miles of theWeiterlesen

Back in Rotterdam and in the rain, we wandered to the Markthal and the cube houses. We visited these when we were here two years ago, so it wasn't particularly new. The street art and sculptures inWeiterlesen

We planned for a lazy evening after coming back from Delft. In the afternoon, we happened upon performers practising for an evening show on aerial silks and hoops, a cyr wheel, and a trapeze. SoWeiterlesen

We headed out into the early morning rain in Rotterdam, and decided on a tram to the station over being soaked! A relatively short hop saw us unto Delft, a quintessially beautiful Dutch town, moreWeiterlesen

Three museums looked interesting in Leidan, but alas, time was against us. We walked through the town, past the windmills and the Morspoort to the main drag, which was far more city-like than theWeiterlesen
