Today still Brigitte (Suzuki) and Gerald (Yamaha XJR1300) from wine city and Bernd (BMW gs 1150) from Nuernberg are pushed to us. The things packed, thus which one must drag on the ferry if possible little with, and off geht's toward Aachen and further over Brussels after Zeebrugge to the Faehrhafen.
The travel by Belgium is boringly - stubborn speed limit on good motorways. Briefly before the ferry we refuel again cheap fuel. The gasoline in Scotland should be allegedly more expensive.
Despite some tracing are somewhat early we to, which has the advantage, which we stand in front and can in all peace our tickets get. There we a cab do not have already now move most and to stow itself away so far possible everything in the suit-cases and bags, which remain during the passage at the Bike. During the passage no entrance to the parking deck is possible!
The weather is first-class. No cloud in the sky is to be seen. The weather forecast announces a heat wave for Germany. We sit and wait. The ticket switch with its waiting hall does not offer alternation. Here there is not yet times a lunch, only one beverage dispenser. I use the time over with Bernd a excursion into the city to make around a bank to search.
Against 16Uhr30 finally the gate is received up and we to roll into the ferry. It is already quite impressing, if one were not ever on so a ship. We drive once by the ship, then in the ship a deck more highly and put ourselves closely with close. Everyone beaeugt argwoehnisch the ship one shank with it busily is to be stowed
coach backwards at our Bikes past to pilots and afterwards the motorcycles. They learned and it quite
tidy made. One was partly asked even, where the fixed point was to be.
Next we visit our sleep hall and find the mentioned conference room forwards in which we only times fast a place secure ourselves. We make a rundgang subsequently, over the ferry, since except the bar still nothing is opened. The Zeebrugge jetty is not a straight eye pasture, typical industriehafen with container terminal and behind it the skyline of the
Zeebrugge Spa. On board the ferry already British time applies, thus the clocks one hour resets.
Briefly after the placing opens the Selbstbedienungsbuffet, which straight€ with 24 is not cheap, but nevertheless much lecker and a large selection offer. We had to then spend the majority of the evening in the bar course-broken at as little a time in the sleep hall as possible. Sometime one had to then prepare nevertheless on the next day and lay down. Owing to ear plugs it went also completely well.
On the next day we have then experienced which one at the rezeption covers get can (if they are not out of print) and those the public showers on deck 10 are. Too late.
