It didn't help that the one hostel that i could find was described as "like a prison without the benefit of any wardens!" .. knowing how brill the hostels are in Holland and Germany i decided to rethink the route to use the Hook of Holland ferry.
I'm excited as it now means I'll be going right through central London and it's always amazing to cross the Thames on a bicycle with all those massive landmarks stretching out towards the horizon. I've never ridden out into Essex and Suffolk and hope the route proves scenic.
Plus it' always amazing to head into a port and catch a boat to the continent!

Hey Brian
My friend and I are planning to cycle from the hook of holland to berlin. we are foing to do it in 7 days. what is the best route?
We want to do about 80 miles per day.
Thanks very much

What sort of bike did you use for this? Me and a few friends are planning this trip for next year and I am torn between a full road bike or maybe a cyclocross? What would you suggest?
