Nipping home for the weekend
When you stand on the beach at Scheveningen and look out to sea, somewhere just over the horizon is the North Norfolk coast; last weekend's destination. This was Sophie's first taste of international travel. The journey out took 6 hours (door-to-door) and the journey back a ridiculous 11 hours; next time you hear someone say how easy it is to travel in Europe these days, give them a good slap. It's quicker getting to Oman. A broken pram (thanks baggage guys) and a lost watch (thanks unhelpful infodesk lady .... "It's not my liability") as well as the two-bus journey just to get to Schiphol long-stay car park all added to the drama. We're going back to the UK in 3 weeks ... on the ferry.
