The third day took us from Rotenburg to IJmuiden and the ferry to Newcastle. It had rained during the night. So, we started off with the roof up. The third car is now also with us. So, the fellowship is now complete.
We decided to stop in Groningen for lunch. The food at the News Café was good. But the service was very slow. We had planned to drive via Afsluitdijk. But when we had finished the lunch and filled up the tank, the time was running out.
We drove to the ferry via Amsterdam. It was an uneventful drive through a very flat landscape. We had to stop for a bridge that opened up to let some ships through to IJmeer. Now we are relaxing in the bar before going to get something to eat and go to bed.
We drove 432 km today. Tomorrow we’ll be in UK! Lindisfarne here we come…
