Harwick Intl to HoekVanHolland

What a fun ferry ride? 2 cinemas, two restaurants, casinos, bars, karaoke and disco area. I think its a NL school team of sort on-board, they were teens and very entertaining. I watched them dance the entire trip.
Also met travelers from NY (young-couples) a traveler from Texas. We talked and drank and share our traveling experiences. Cool! The ferry docked at Hoek Van Holland 0200hr. no train running yet. So more time for our open conversations. Encountered challenge with the NL ticket-machine (no cr-cards or bills are accepted). Met nice and friendly ticket inspector. He said Amsterdam and Rotterdam are rivals. Its interesting to hear how they also have our eastCoast and westCoast thingee. Reached Amsterdam around 0400hr. What an interesting night!
