You’ll see houses that lean like they’re tipsy. They’re built on wooden poles stuck in mud. They’ve been tilting for 400 years. Nobody seems worried.
The cheese shops let you taste everything. You can try Gouda that’s been aged for three years. It tastes like crunchy umami crystals. Your breath will smell, but you won’t care.
Fun fact: The Dutch eat raw herring with onions. They hold it by the tail and lower it into their mouths. It looks medieval. It tastes strangely good.
Why this is better than a weekend flight
No airport security queues. No tiny seats. No baggage fees. You just drive to Hull or North Shields, park your car, and walk onto a boat.
The 2-for-1 deal often includes a cabin. You get a porthole and a bed that rocks you to sleep. It’s like being in a very cozy washing machine.
You arrive feeling rested, not wrecked. And you’ve got cheap booze in your luggage. Winning.
