We flew into Holland this morning to cloudy skies and light drizzle, a massive difference when we last left Schipol airport. After a search in the long-term parking for our vehicle, we drove to Scheveningan to pick up our trailer, only to find that a circus has taken over the trailer park that all the 470s were left in. Our trailer got moved somewhere else in the harbour, behind closed fences. After several phone calls which were met by grumpy harbour-master, we still had no way to access our trailer and our ferry to Harwich, England is tonight. Luckily, 15mins of waiting at the gates, it opened for a car to come out, and the kind fella opened it for us to get access to our trailer.
With tricky part of trying to get access to the trailer-park on a Saturday done, we drove to Hoek van Holland where we will wait 8 hours for our overnight ferry to Harwich. Though there’s nothing to do in this part of Holland, we’re lucky to get access to a cafe with internet where we can kill time. The reliance on technology in this era where the internet becomes such a necessary part of our life seems scary.
