Slow Travellers - Day in Rotterdam + Ferry to Hull

After a slow morning, Marla and I checked our and were able to leave our luggage at the hotel allowing us a day to Explore Rotterdam. Highlights included: walking across the Erasmus Bridge (as shown above)

 Open Air Maritime Museum - where you can wander through a number of boats sitting on the canal.

Markthalle - with an incredible amount of places to eat to choose from.

Some interesting architecture in the Museum Park (and recharging in the adjoining parks) 

The highlight for Marla was taking a Water Taxi back to our hotel - very easy to book with the local app and very affordable.

Our journey to the ferry was not as smooth, as surprisingly there is no public transport directly to the port. The ferry provider puts on a coach (for an additional fee) but there was some confusion with the timing of the departure. It did eventually arrive and we made it to the ferry with enough time for passport control and to check into our Cabin, explore the decks and grab some food before setting sail in the sunset. Marla was very excited but slightly anxious about getting sea sick. Thankfully there is lots of board to distract us, including a cinema and some live performances from a rock band and a theatrical show. After watching this (and checking out the deck one last time) we settled down for the night. Marla slept like a log, I was a bit more unsettled with the mild rocking but got there in the end!
