Her Map , My Map













Today after getting sleepy head up out of bed really really late we went for a drive.
Yup jumped in the car and off we went, we TRIED to find a market in a small town without success, so then we went to look at the castle they have there, this time with no success in finding a car park.
Plan B: fill the car and drive,
where to Jill ?? Rotterdam Harbour, no problem, so off we went.
No map, No Navigation just our ability to read road signs quickly as they pass.
When getting into something that looked like the center of Rotterdam I thought it was wise to now inform Jill I am totally petrified to drive in cities, highway no problem, small cities no problem, a rat race, big problem.
After some time we found containers that went onto ships but we totally missed anything that looked like water, boats or ships.
Freaking out and trying to follow signs and trying to look like I knew where the hell we were going we just picked a car and followed it, yup that's it, nice grey car lets follow him and just hope he was not on the way home from work or off to visit his lover.
After sometime we decided between her American roots and blood going back to American Indians was not from any tracking tribes and my Australians roots are just all criminals no aboriginal blood at all in me, well it all boiled down to, we can find a shoe shop blindfolded but not the biggest cargo port in the world, So we headed somewhere else.
So we drove all over, about wet ourselves a few times from laughing.
Tomorrow will be fun, we are doing the same but thinking of heading to a different country, great a country neither of us can speak the language or read the road signs, bet you we find what we are looking for in 5 minutes flat!!!
