I went on a bit of a different style of trip last weekend. My partner found there was a ferry from England to the Hook of Holland, including overnight options with cabins, and also day journeys.
We went for a Friday night trip with a cabin so we could sleep, and then coming back bank holiday Monday daytime. It’s certainly a mode of transport I’m interested in trying for other trips in the future.
We stayed in a nearby city, Rotterdam, for the weekend. And while it was a good trip overall, I’ve probably been so spoiled with my previous European city breaks that it doesn’t feel like a city that warrants a return.
There was some interesting architecture, albeit a lot more modern than I’m used to. So I did manage to get a few photos, which I have decided to crop as squares, as I still like to reminisce over the days of early Instagram.
I did some reading after the trip about Rotterdam, and found that it was heavily destroyed in WWII, so that probably explains the modern feel, and lack of deep history. Again, I’m spoiled, as I work in London.
