Driving was easy because we took the expensive way... ferry from harwich to hook of holland overnight in a nice cabin with comfy beds... then only a 3 hour drive. Problem was the ferry didn't unload quickly was all, so next time will definitely give ourselves more time for delays and get the day ferry and stay in a hotel at hamm the night before instead works out about the same cost anyway.

Ah OK. I didn't really catch anyones name either. Apart from the folk I know obviously.
To be honest I'm surprised I could remember as much German. Only once did it fail me when I couldn't think up a way of saying 'Paperwork'.
