The Hook of Holland

Where has 2.5 months gone? We finally had to make the trip back to England and close our 2009 European adventure. We sailed from the Hook of Holland to Harwich (more a North Sea than my 6th channel crossing).
The shipping at the port (which adjoins Rotterdam) was none stop and ranged from Rhine barges (front left) to the largest sea going container ships (see mid background right).Looking to the North of the estuary the beaches cater for the tourist industry.
After a 6 hour relaxing crossing we reached Harwich. We then towed the van to Solihull late Friday evening and parked it outside Jo’s house. We spent Saturday cleaning the van and on Sunday placed it into storage to await our return in 2010.
