Inter-species unfairness on the ferry


So why is it, on the ferry from Harwich to Hoek van Holland, that Gail gets to watch me on the video camera from her cabin, but I don't get the chance to keep an eye on her from my kennel?

That aside, I rather enjoyed crossing the North Sea.


On the train to Amsterdam, I relaxed and read the paper and felt relieved that we had not travelled by air.

Gail promises me that we really will be in Switzerland tomorrow evening. Meanwhile, Cheers from Amsterdam!
PS from Gail: apologies for any dodgy formatting on this and subsequent posts while travelling and using the smartphone.

      Hmm. I'd been wondering why Gail's been acting a bit funny since we walked past those strange smelling 'coffee' shops...

    So good to see you back on terra firma - though it does seem the ferry trip was just fine! (I admire Gail for posting from a fone - I can't even manage from the tablet!) Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

      None at all. We just spoke to a nice young man from Argentina who made a big fuss of me and said back home he had a wire fox terrier called Lupe. Oh and the chap from Paris in the hotel lobby was a big WFT fan too!

    We believe that simply being a WFT is all it takes to communicate with almost anyone! Glad it's daytime and you are off the ferry!

    Bertie and Gail first of all we think the posts are wonderful and do so appreciate you sharing the adventure with us. I expect if there had been a camera in Gail's cabin you would have caught her snacking.

    As for my curling preferences. First I will get on whatever it is turn in circles and all of a sudden plop down. Mom says it reminds her of musical chairs. She never knows where I'll land.
    Happy travels
    Hugs madi your bfff

    Wow, she can spy on you but not you on her. Not fair! Thank you for sharing this wonderful trip with us. We wish it was easy for us to travel to Europe.

    That video link sounds very high-tech, but we definitely agree it should be two-way!

    Oh my that was rather unfair on the ferry. I know two dogs who would not have tolerated that! Loving the tales from your grand European Tour. Michael Palin and for that matter Portillo, eat your heart out!

    Bertie - We shall put any dodgy formatting down to the cannabis ice cream.

    Bertie were you the only dog traveling? Like you really have privacy. Did you visit the Ann Frank house while in Amsterdam. That street looks like the one the house sat on.
    Thanks for being a friend

      There was one other quiet collie chap on that ferry.
      We walked past the Ann Frank house, close to where the photo was taken (well spotted!) but did not go inside.
