From Cobh, we sailed around the bottom of England and then through the English Channel to Rotterdam. This is supposedly one of the busiest channels in the world. After seeing very little traffic on the Atlantic, we were suddenly surrounded by large boats, going in all directions. At one point we were able to see both France and the White Cliffs of Dover, England.
We arrived into Rotterdam, Netherlands early Thursday morning. Rotterdam is the largest seaport in the world. It was quite interesting to see the enormity of it, as we slowly glided a long way in to the inner harbour, to the Holland America dock.
