We did the 'Dutch Dash' from Hull to Amsterdam - but was it worth it?!

The premise: I have been to the Netherlands before by ferry - but it was for a friend’s 18th birthday and we only got as far as Rotterdam - and it was half-day closing day! Everyone was hungover and it was really rainy and all we really did was go in H&M. It wasn’t really my cup of tea! A few years ago I did the Bruges dash - which I really enjoyed. Apart from getting a really basic cabin and some rough seas, Bruges was a nice compact city, perfect for spending the day there, and my gosh the chocolate is good! Me and Jono had been saying we wanted to visit Amsterdam for a while, and we looked at short breaks flying from Humberside, but they were a bit out of our price range while we’re renovating our house, so we decided to try the ferry. Our trip: Having learnt from my previous trips, we booked a slightly nicer cabin with a double bed! It was only £80 each, and it even had a kettle and a slightly bigger bathroom. It was a good choice - I got lots more sleep than I normally do on
