Day 29 - Almelo to Utrecht to Rotterdam - One big travel day

To make sure I was at my meeting in time I needed to get up at 5.45 a.m. and check out of the hotel and hit the road.  The traffic was not too bad until within about 30 minutes of Utrecht when that last 30 minutes took me over an hour.  But I was still there over an hour early and that allowed me to get a coffee, sit down and have a pre meeting with one of my Dutch colleagues.
After a brief meeting I decamped from the office and it was time to go to the ferry and the journey home.  I know that it is only Thursday and I do have to work when I get home tomorrow and have quite a full day of meetings but I can’t help feeling it is the weekend already.  After my journey’s recently it would be nice to have a full weekend and starting as soon as work has finished on Friday.
Back to now and tonight I am writing this blog from my cabin on the P&O ferry sailing from Rotterdam and I know the cabins are only there for lay your head for a few hours and the rest of the time is suppose to be spent walking the ship and looking around and they have to cram as many people aboard as possible so the cabins have to be small but 15 foot by 6 at the largest parts is defiantly very small for two people as they are suppose to be for.  Not so bad for me as I am on my own.
The good thing of going to work by ferry and particularly this one is that tonight I get to relax and there is an entertainment show with a band that does a few numbers and with a piano bar, shops, cinema and snack shop there are plenty of things to look around.  It is a nice atmosphere to end the weeks travel.

That is all for now as I need to make use of my bunk bed and sleep the way back to blighty.
