Day 1 Port of Call Rotterdam Departure 4:00p.m.

Overview

 
select to open Rotterdam pictures - Opens a dialog

Nowadays Rotterdam is a vital part of the economy of the Netherlands. The Port of Rotterdam, the largest port in the world with a total throughput of about 300 million metric tons a year provides a solid base for industry in and around the Rotterdam area. Its population is about 575000, which makes it one of the largest cities in the Netherlands, but the number of people that work in the Rotterdam area or are otherwise economically dependent on it exceeds that number by far. The density of the population is among the highest in the Netherlands, exceeding 4000 per square kilometer. Shipping, storage, and forwarding are of course among the most important activities in the region, but the port of Rotterdam has also created a large chemical industry, which is fully dependent upon the transport facilities for the inflow of crude oil and the shipping of the various refined end products. Large petrochemical plants have sprung up, especially on the south bank of the Maas. These plants are in operation 24 hours a day. The development of Europoort ('Euro gate') started in 1957. A large complex of ports and industrial areas was created between Rotterdam and the entry to the North Sea. When more space was needed, the Maasvlakte ('Maas Flats') was created. Using dikes, dams, and sand deposits the coastline was altered to include many square kilometers of newly created land, where the Petroleum Harbors, container terminals, ore terminals, and the Maasvlakte power plant are located. An interesting feature is the 'disaster area', a training complex where fire brigades train to cope with large-scale industrial accidents. The complex includes a grounded tanker that is set on fire several times a day. The name Europoort suggests that Rotterdam wanted to become the gateway to Europe. By 1963 this suggestion had become outdated because in that year Rotterdam could claim to be the largest port in the world, a record that it still holds. The Berge Stahl, a 365,000-ton ore carrier, is fully dependent on the port of Rotterdam since this is the only port on the European continent that this ship (with its 23m/75ft draught) can access. After the flood in 1953, a large project was initiated to prevent such floodings in the future. This project, the 'Delta plan', involved stronger and higher dikes and numerous flood barriers. The latest of those flood barriers to be completed was the storm surge barrier in the Nieuwe Waterweg near Hoek van Holland. Two enormous doors mounted on swing arms can be used to close off the Nieuwe Waterweg, should storm and high water require so to protect the country from flooding. Normally the doors are open, so as not to impede the flow of ships through the Nieuwe Waterweg. Building and development have become a way of life for Rotterdam. The city has continued to grow, and it shows no signs of slowing down. And although this constant increase in population, urbanization, and development all breed their problems, Rotterdam is ready for the next millennium. As the economic heart of the Netherlands, with a population heading towards 600000, it had better be ready.

Overview

 
select to open Cruising Breidafjordur pictures - Opens a dialog

The Breidafjordur is a vast shallow bay on the west coast of Iceland between the wilderness of the North-West Peninsula to the north and the Snaefellsnes to the south. The bay has numerous islands with grassland and marshes and extensive intertidal areas along its deeply indented coastline. Snaefellsnes is a long and narrow peninsula with rocky sandstone cliffs holding important seabird colonies on the southern side and rocky shores and sandy lagoons on the coast of the bat to the north. The Breidafjordur is famous as the last resort of most of Iceland's remaining White-tailed Eagles and the islands of the bay support a few pairs of Grey Phalarope, a very rare breeding bird in the Western Palearctic. Harlequin Duck, an Icelandic speciality, can be seen both within the bay and on the southern side of the Snaefellsnes. Gyrfalcon breeds on the peninsula and the seabird colonies include Shag and Cormorant, Black, Common and Brunnich's Guillemot, Razorbill and Puffin, Glaucous Gull and Fulmar. Divers, Whooper Swan, Greylag Goose, Scaup, Long-tailed Duck and Eider also breed as well as Arctic Skua and Arctic Tern, Ptarmigan and Snow Bunting. Red-necked Phalarope, Purple Sandpiper, Whimbrel and Golden Plover are among the waders present in summer. Brent Goose occurs on passage and huge numbers of Knot and other waders visit the intertidal areas on migration. Iceland Gull is present in winter. Common and Grey Seals are commonly seen and in recent years the area has become an important base for whale-watching trips. These can be arranged at either Stykkisholmur or Olafsvik on the northern coast of the peninsula and cetaceans to be seen include White-beaked Dolphin, Killer and Pilot Whales with the possibility of Sperm and Humpback, Fin, Sei, Minke and even Blue Whales on the longer trips. There are roads around the perimeter and across the centre of the peninsula and also along the shore of the Breidafjordur enabling the entire area to be easily explored and there is regular public transport from Reykjavik. Accommodation is available in Stykkisholmur, Borganes and elsewhere and camping is possible at Olafsvik. There are regular boats across the bay from Stykkisholmur to Brjanslaekur on the North-West Peninsula which stop at some of the many islands including Flatey which has breeding Grey Phalarope and Black Guillemot.

Day 14 Port of Call Paamiut Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 5:00p.m.

Overview

 
select to open Paamiut pictures - Opens a dialog

The town of Paamiut is located at the mouth of the Kuannersooq Fjord and the town's name also means 'inhabitants at the mouth'. The town was built in 1742, and the very characteristic wooden church dates from 1909. The interesting local museum located at the town center is fitted up in 19th-century buildings that include a former carpentry workshop and a salt house. To all appearances, the area has been inhabited since around 1,500 BC. Like the other towns of West Greenland, the sea does not freeze over during winter and the primary occupation for the 2,100 inhabitants in Paamiut and its only settlement of Arsuk is fishing. In spring and summer however, the fishing and other maritime traffic can be obstructed by field ice floating along the east coast of Greenland and continuing up the west coast - but even so, the field ice is a fascinating sight. The sea's great importance to the town is also emphasized by the fact that Greenland's maritime trade training programs are housed here. Perhaps Paamiut ought to have been called 'the land of the white-tailed eagle' because the area has the largest population of white-tailed eagles in Greenland. If visitors choose to sail out on the open sea instead, they are almost certain to see whales in late summer and autumn. The whales will usually be rorquals, fin whales, killer whales, or humpbacks.

Day 15 Port of Call Nuuk Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 4:00p.m.

Overview

 
select to open Nuuk pictures - Opens a dialog

Nuuk was founded by the unfailingly optimistic Hans Egede - the Danish missionary with soul conversions on his agenda - who promptly named the settlement Good Hope. The naming turned out to be more of a Hail Mary than a prophecy: first, the native Inuit moved out of a neighborhood that, to their way of thinking, had become too congested, and later smallpox and tuberculosis epidemics ripped through the small settlement. Even today Nuuk is small by modern standards, with a total population of only 14,000. Despite a wealth of land and a paucity of people, Nuuk has insisted on housing the population in immense apartment blocks with imaginative names like Blok P - a kind of Gulag on ice - and the urban sprawl is now spreading out along the road to the airport. Kolonihavnen is a pleasant exception to the rest of Nuuk's Lego-city look: it's a picturesque 18th-century fishing village in the heart of Nuuk and gives some idea of what the town looked like before the industrial harbor was built. Nuuk's real attraction lies in its proximity to any number of excellent day hikes into the hinterland and the fabulous views from the tops of the nearby mountains. Organized tours, boat trips, and the rental of equipmentares also easier from the capital.

Day 17 Port of Call Qaqortoq Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 5:00p.m.

Overview

 
select to open Qaqortoq pictures - Opens a dialog

Qaqortoq, sitting at the tip of the peninsula in the south of Greenland, is a clean pleasant harbor town built on the site of Hans Egede's search for the lost colonists. Although only boasting 3500 people, it's considered the hub of the south and is worth visiting in summer when the place explodes with wildflowers. The town's pride of possession is the town square fountain - the only one in Greenland - with the names of the town burghers, past and present, in brass letters on the base (although many names have fallen victim to souvenir hunters). Qaqortoq Museum is worth a gander - it's one of Greenland's finest - and exhibits artifacts from past and present cultures. Mostly, though, Qaqortoq is used as a base for hiking treks: either one-day hikes up 'Peter's Cairn’ or around the edge of the Tasersuaq Lake, or as a departure point for the three- to four-day treks to the neighboring town of Igaliku. The Hvalsey ruins, sitting on a coastal strip just out of Qaqortoq, are Greenland's most extensive and best-preserved Norse ruins. There is a choice of ferry services on most days of the week, and several daily flights to other settlements along the west coast. It's also possible to trek from some of the neighboring towns. Qaqortoq is 450km (279 mi) down the coast from Nuuk, although the distance by foot would be much greater given the heavily fringed coastline.

Overview

 
select to open Queensferry pictures - Opens a dialog

South Queensferry is situated 8 miles west of Edinburgh, on the banks of the Forth Estuary. Its name is thought to have originated from the frequent journeys made by Queen Margaret of Scotland from Dunfermline, in Fife, south to over the estuary towards Edinburgh, in the late 11th century. The burgh prospered and was a leading seaport in the 16th century, as well as being the southern ferry port for the crossings to and from Fife. The town expanded even more in the 1880s during the construction of the Forth Rail Bridge, with a workforce of around 3000. The Navy established a base at the adjacent Port Edgar during the 1st World War. The other famous Forth Bridge, the Road Bridge, was constructed during the 1960s.The central part of the town is still quite old-fashioned and retained much of its charm as a protected area. At the western end of Main Street stands the Jubilee Tower, to commemorate the 50th year of Queen Victoria's reign. The Hawes Inn lies at the other end of the main street. The Inn has quite a literary heritage. The Scottish novelist, Walter Scott, described the inn in "Antiquary" and Robert Louis Stevenson, another Scottish author, is said to have found the inspiration for his novel "Kidnapped" while a guest at the inn. There is also a 200-year-old yew tree in the garden of the inn.South Queensferry is pleasant to visit for a stroll along the main street and to admire the spectacular views of the bridges. In the Summer months, tourists can take a ferry to the nearby Inchcolm Island. The town has a good selection of coffee shops and restaurants, several with good views. It can be reached by train from Edinburgh in a few minutes and is around a half-hour drive from my hometown of Stirling.

Overview

 
select to open Dover pictures - Opens a dialog

Dover is one of the most-visited towns in England but most of the 13 million people who travel to Dover each year are bound for one of the many ferries, catamarans or hydrofoils that cross the English Channel (more properly called the Dover Straits) to North-West France. A small number of travellers stop in the town and enjoy the 'Dover hospitality' that is on offer. There is information on these pages for people travelling into Dover by road/rail/cycle and for those wanting to take a ferry to France, including Port & Ferry News. Drivers will see very little of Dover itself as they enter on either the A20 from the South or the A2 from the North-West. In both cases, the roads arrive at the Harbour, where they join. The whole of Dover's town stretches inland from the Harbour and continues along three valleys into the Kent countryside. Dover is at one end of the North Downs and has several ranges of hills, two of which have fortresses dating from the medieval and Roman eras, as well as more modern (19th Century) times. Behind the town centre are the modern-day barracks, Dover's past and current commitments to the country have always included more than can be seen under the famous White Cliffs. Modern-day Dover has a mixed economy but is still very heavily dependent on the ferry industry. Other major employers include: the Ministry of Defence (at Connaught Barracks), numerous freight companies, vehicle sellers & repairers! The history of Dover is best covered in the many books and videos on the subject (available, of course, at the town's Museum!).
