After leaving beautiful Bath and my family's wonderful hospitality, I headed back to London for one more night before catching the boat to Holland. Prior to leaving Bath I had made no arrangements for a place to stay, so we just decided to wing it. The bus ride back was long and boring but it gave me a chance to catch up on some writing. Being back in London I felt like a native.....I knew which bus to hop on...and we were back at our old hostel in 10 mins.....unfortunately they didn't have any beds available....but we were lucky that the owner loved us and set us up with cots in his room.....FREE of charge....
After a mellow night in London we decided to catch the ride out to Harwich early because we didn't have a place to stay and our boat ride was really early. However we had to eat one more traditional breakfast first. After navigating our way through the Tube we made it to the central line and caught our train. Harwich is roughly 2 hrs east of London by train and right on the coast. When we arrived at the docks everything was empty so we talked to information and found out we can take an overnight boat for only 12 pounds more and we would get our own sleeping cabin.....we immediately jumped on this opportunity. The boat was yet again amazing....and the cabin was surprisingly spacious, clean, and comfortable...which was a welcomed change after all of the hostels. On board we enjoyed food, beer, some gambling, and some new friends....and the best part...when we woke up we were in Holland :)
