Germany 2007, Day One

Day one 3rd June

Nice easy drive to Hull for the 21:00 ferry to Rotterdam, stopped off for a couple of hours to visit Dot's brother and family in Leven, just outside Beverly. We had been having bother with the GPS on the laptop but had made adjustments and all appeared to be ok on the trip down. Arrived at the terminal about 18:00 and got straight on, we had an outside cabin, we had splashed out as the tickets were free. Some people still do not know that you can exchange your Tesco points vouchers for travel vouchers and then ferry tickets at four times their face value, we had £100 of vouchers and got ferry tickets worth £400 (it did cost £5.00 to post the travel vouchers to P&O special delivery), hence the outside cabins. Unfortunately this offer is no longer available.

We headed off to the show bar, the bands are usually quite good but not this time, P&O must have really cut down on what they pay for entertainment. It was also incredibly smoky in there, so we went up to the piano lounge, the pianist was ok and it was a lot less smoky but it was a little cold in there.
