Why I’d never recommend taking the ferry to Holland

The ferry from Dover to Hook of Holland takes approximately 8 hours. That’s an extremely long time to be stuck on a ferry travelling over rough seas and it was the biggest mistake I made on my last holiday. I liked the idea of taking the car to Holland because the roads are really nice to drive on and we had the freedom to go where we’d like but we needed some recovery time after that awful journey. Unfortunately for us, the cabins were all sold out, so we had to make do with the chairs in the lobby area and it has to be the most uncomfortable journey we’ve ever been on. I have a boat and I’m never boat sick but for this holiday my body made an exception. Take it from me, never take the ferry to Holland; it’s just too far!
