Question: How do you cross the English Channel?
Answer: Ferry trip!
Stena Line from Harwich to Hook of Holland to be precise. It's pretty good considering that we can sleep on the cruise for the night and arrive in Holland the next day. Maybe the motion rocks me to sleep. :)

It's more like a cruise than a ferry.
We then follow a tour from Tours and Tickets to Marken, Volendum & Zaanse Schans.
First stop - Marken. It's literally like an island surrounded by water and used to flood regularly till dikes were constructed. |
 |
Marken - a picturesque little fisherman village
|
 |
| Clogs making factory. I think that's too big for mummy :) |
 |
| Very colorful magnet souvenirs |
 |
| Can you see the pole made out of clogs? |
 |
| And more clogs!! |
 |
| I think this is a pretty pair |
We then took another boat trip from Marken to Volendum to check out daddy's favourite - cheese!

Next stop: Zaanseschans. Check out the windmills here!
 |
| It has a collection of well-preserved historic windmills |

Ok, I am not going to pretend anymore but what a tiring day! See you in the next post.
