Sat 2nd November 2024.
Day 50.
This site would do well in ‘t north of England.
When we rose this morning little did we know that the route we worked out would include two ferry crossings and a short toll tunnel under a river.
All in all, the journey went quite smoothly and we didn’t need to use any motorways for a change. The area we are staying in is below Rotterdam, and is new to us, we have stayed on peninsula’s to the South of us which are very rural.
Hellevoitsluis is located on the Haringvliet ( an estuary to the North Sea) with a beach and dunes close by and is a fortified town with a fortress built in the 17th century. It’s port has a large dry dock and a sea lock to control water levels.
Adjacent to the dry dock are moored three ships that in the tourist season are open to the public.
We wandered down to the end of the harbour to where it opens out into the estuary, it was beginning to get dark you forget the effects of it being November and the clocks having gone back.
