Day One - 20th July 2016

Our first full day, and it is scorching! The Dutch lady we chatted to at our Service Station stop told us it is never usually like this in Holland. As happened last year on the Danube, we go to Northern Europe and Scandinavia to keep cool and get heat waves .

Overnight Harwich to the Hook was good. Calm as calm, and a lovely roomy cabin with a double and a single bed. Could have done without being woken up an hour and a half before docking though. They obviously want you to spend money in the shops and restaurants.

We - or Geoff to be accurate - have done about three hours driving today. A gentle start to acknowledge the lack of sleep over the last two nights. We settled at lunchtime in to a lovely small rural and shaded site on the Dutch side of the German border and plan to relax here for 24 hours.
