So it begins......

An uneventful evening ride to Harwich to catch the overnight ferry to the Hook of Holland. Finally back on the road doing a "proper" bike trip. The bikes idle revs are a bit low, but not enough to stall it at lights, may have to adjust it; see how it goes.
First time I've been on an overnight ferry (as far as I remember). Quite plush: private en-suite cabin, that even has a shower! There is an on board cinema showing Avengers Endgame. Also a couple of bars, but in a remarkable act of discipline and self control, I'll skip all that for an early night, so I am ready for a long ride up through that there Europe tomorrow.

Queuing for the ferry to Holland.

Surprisingly comfortable!

Soundtrack: "Come on Eileen", Dexys Midnight Runners (being played over the ships PA).
