We sail Hull - Zeebrugge on 25/08, we WERE planning to come back on 11th, but got notification last Friday that the saling had been cancelled for essential repairs.
THankfully I was was able to act on this and managed to get a sailing from Rotterdam. An additional 2hrs 20 minutes, 181 km extra...so both extra time and petrol.
We are now having to re-plan a stop over at this lat stage.
I feel sorry for all those people who didn't see the email until they got home and were having to take pot luck with sailings, or worse still facing the long trudge from the south coast back home.

Yes, there is the Rotterdam crossing to consider for future trips.
We're switching our allegiance to Italy, having holidayed in France for the past 18yrs, it's time to explore the land of my forebears.
It will sure be strange camping in Italy, lets hope the sites are as good French ones.

Mikey chops, it's almost time to get the gear out and pack for the annual road trip.
We're going a week later than usual, as we were going to F1 GP in Spa, but I'm not fussed, and Robert isn't now, so we're going to change our route and take in Milan, Lake Como and approach Limone from the southern end of the lake instead.
We're taking the Decathlon tent combo this year, the BIG Hartford XL was a nightmare last year...in fact the whole holiday was ruined by me being ill for 80% of it.
Mick - I am qtr Italian, of course the people are nice. The food id good , the language beautiful, they've got style, lets hope we get he full package and are smoozed by the experience!!!

Well, we holidayed in Sorrento years ago (took the train up to Roma, where middle DD was grooming for one of the Fiat Agnellis, who rode for the Italian Olympic team), and honeymooned in Tuscany (Montalcino, home of the famous Brunello), but had given bella Italia a pass in recent years.
So Como in June and Venice in July made up for it. Both were hot and crowded, but both beautiful in their different ways. We loved them.
Managed to get tables at the top two rated restaurants in Varenna, Il Cavatappi and Al Prato, and took boat trips to Menaggio and Bellagio. Loved it. Had a run down to Milano one day. Driving in and out of the city in our brand new Yeti was exciting.
Coupla pics to get you going 
We thought about this for next year. But not at 700 euros a night 
Venice was very special. Did all the tourist stuff - bellinis at Harry's Bar (ouch) round of GnT's at Florians (double ouch), Peggy Guggenheim's, a gondola ride, various boat trips etc. The hotel was two mins away from Piazza San Marco and Palazzo Ducale. Vivaldi was a past resident and wrote The Four Seasons there.
More pics:
All in all, it reminded us how wonderful Italy is. Annecy is still on the list, but next year's decision will be a tricky one, I can see that.
Hope you have a wonderful time
