Last night in Europe

After a short ferry trip over the Lek we took the backstreets to Utrecht to catch up with Karel again.

Some of these streets can get a little narrow. The bike lanes are ubiquitous.

We took up more of Karel's time than we should have before heading to Leiden.

Picnic dinner in the middle of a church square. Very European

The city lays on a park and ride so we didn't have to drive in and clog the streets. Very enlightened policy.

Leiden is another canal side town - stereotypically Dutch

We had a nice Italian meal but we weren't camping in town and had to drive to the coast in the dark. I think it was only the second time we'd done that in 4 months.

Our destination was a carpark close to the ferry terminal on the Hook of Holland. It was dark when we arrived and I had to tuck the motorhome into the last space - on an inside curve which makes parking a 6m vehicle interesting.
