RE: Travel - Netherlands - Amsterdam to London - Hoek van Holland!
Howick, I guess that should be Harwich.
Typos happen don't they.
No big deal.
I've taken this route many times.
It is one of the better connections between the Netherlands & the UK.
Back in the days when oil was cheap, there was this catamaran doing the
crossing in just 4 hours.
It was the Stena Discovery.
I never forget trying to close the door of this ferry, while it was travelling at about 80km/ hour.
It took way more effort to close than most other doors.
Imagine opening the door of a car travelling at 80km/ hour and you'll get an idea.
The newest ferries (Stena Hollandia & Stena Britannica) do the same trip in about 8 hours.
While having a drink on of these crossings, as one does,
someone told me that these ferries are slower,
but have very big stabilizers so they can operate at rough seas.
Cheers
Thanks, yes Harwich. I've changed it. ;)
Thanks for the additional info. I think both options were there when traveled 10 years ago, we simply chose the cheapest given our limited budget. ;)
