Today was an intensive travel day! We left the hotel in Hannover, searched for a market to purchase some goodies for Pop, then drove. A simple four hour drive turned into a nightmarish six hour drive! We left Hannover at 10 and arrived in Rotterdam at 5:15. We stopped for gas about five minutes before we dropped the Insight off. We took a taxi to the Europort.
We are now onboard "Pride of Rotterdam" waiting to see when the buffet opens for dinner.
At 2100, we sail to Hull, England, arriving at 0800. A very pleasant an efficient way to make the trip.
We will then pick up our rental car and drive to our most excellent friend Mrs. Kay's house!

We ate at the Four Seasons Buffett aboard the "Pride of Rotterdam" tonight. It was like an onboard ship version of Hometown Buffet, but a bit different. We had salad, cheese, crackers and bread to start dinner.
Then Mom and I had roasted meat, potatoes, apple and mint sauce, and water to drink with the meal. Then we had dessert! First we had a sticky toffee pudding which was extremely delicious! Next we had honeycomb swirl ice cream, which was like a caramel-vanilla ice cream!
So far the ferry has been quite an experience, an unforgettable one (In a good way), at that!
Addendum to trip report: We ate and drank our mineral water, and butter cookies like kings, thanks to Heidi and her full bag of goodies!

Hi Jack and Dru,
ReplyDeletewe wish you a wonderful time in the UK and looking forward seeing you in the USA. Glad, that you saw different things in Germany than the usual Oil trail (Munich, Schloss Neuschwanstein...there's more to see than that!) Safe jounrey!
Hi Mad Uek!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We look forward to seeing you again! We had a superb time in Germany with the Rhinos! Thanks again for getting me onto Wittmund to see them!
We're having a jolly good time over here in England, now that we have an automatic transmission car, one less thing for mom to think about when driving on the wrong side of the road!
Thanks again, and see you in San Diego!
