Day 16 - Utrecht to Ealing

Well. With huge sadness I left Femke and Saskia at 0430am on Sunday morning to drive to Oostende via Breda, Antwerpen and Gent. I have to say that this was the first time I've ever had a woman baking me bread rolls at 4am! Femke, you're a fine woman.

Then it was a slightly boring drive of just over 2 hours to the Trans Europa Ferry terminal in Oostende. After getting out of the car to check in I was confronted by some bloke in a beanie hat asking me to take him and his girlfriend across the channel in my car as they were on a trekking holiday and didn't realise that this Ferry company don't take foot passengers. I'm sure if they caught me later in the day I might've taken them but at that time in the morning it didn't seem like a very good idea. To be fair the guy seemed like a bit of a twat anyway.
