We started our day at 5:30am when we boarded the bus to get to the English Coast so we could board our cruise ship and set sail to Holland. We arrived an hour early so we had more than ample time to say goodbye to our guide Brian Wakefield. It was bittersweet as we had an amazing time in England but we were excited to move on to the next part of our tour. After passing through the ship yard gate and seeing the ship we found ourselves awestruck at the massiveness of the ship. The check in process went surprising quick and it seemed to be very slow which we assumed could be attributed to our early arrival. However after the ship set sail we we were informed that the ship was operating at less than 2% capacity, our LUCKY day! It was like having our own private cruise line as we had ample space to do what we wanted and we had the computer lab, video games, coffer bar and restaurant virtually to ourselves. The boat ride was just under seven hours but it went quick due to everyone having the space they needed to nap, relax, play spoons etc.
After docking we smoothly went through customs and grabbed our luggage and jumped on our charter bus in Rotterdam, Holland and headed to Nuland, Holland where we will spend the next two nights. The hotel is very cool and the rooms are extremely oversized by European standards. We enjoyed a fopur course dinner and now we are off to bed. It was a great day to catch up on sleep and gear up for the rest of our trip. Tomorrow we off to see Amsterdam and while there we will go to the Van Gough Museum and take a canal cruise to learn about the elaborate defense system the Dutch created to protect them from intruders in earlier centuries.
So far so good……..
