3. Hull Marina

We did not know what to expect when arriving in Hull so we headed for the river and we were so pleased that we did. The powers that be have spent much money ensuring that this area is the place to go. A lovely little marina awaits with clever criss-cross walks through the area which has a promenade on one side and many bars, restaurants and shops on the opposite side. Good viewing area of the Humber with its tribute to the thousands of immigrants who passed through Hull en route to the US. The Marina is on the edge of the City Centre and the Old Town which are added attractions with its Cathedral and rejuvenated docklands well within walking distance. As we headed back to the railway station, we met the jovial folk of Hull heading in the opposite direction for their night out which sums up this area. Thoroughly recommend. Enjoy.

My dad and I always have a lovely time having a walk around the old part of hull. Walking up high street it is easy to imagine what it was like years and years ago there are some hidden gems if you know where to look I’m lucky my dad is a hull born and bred lad so he knows all the spectacular secrets that are there if you know where to look. Have a walk up and down the cobbled tiny streets go sit in trinity square and have a coffee and go walk round holly trinity church it’s free to enter plus if it’s raining you can sit in the church and have a hot drink along with a yummy piece of cake they always have some great home baking in the church cafe. Have a walk to hull pier and carry on round to hull marina and back round down Humber street. Hull is a great little city it’s under estimated most people are really friendly and helpful and the nice thing about hull is you don’t drive through it to go to other places so if your coming to hull your coming because you really want to. ????????. Ps don’t forget to have a walk up to queen victora square it is spectacular it has two of hulls great museums in it ferans art gallery and the maritime museum it’s well worth a visit.

Very comfortable crossing - the North Sea was like a mill pond. We upgraded our cabin to club class and found it to be very, very comfortable. We had dinner in The Brasserie restaurant and thought the food and service were very good. Entry in to Rotterdam was fascinating to watch from the sun deck and both boarding and disembarking (with car) went well. Great way to travel!
