Well it worked in Holland, Belgium and Germany when they all "went over" ~ I was there at the time.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Pretend stupidy is not clever.

And yes ~ Why not all in one day? Come off the boat at Zeebruge, get onto the A10 and drive. You can get off the boat at 8am and have lunch in Cologne ...... if you know the way. I always used to get the 06.30 sailing and would breakfast in Gent(Belgium) before driving via Eindhoven (Holland) for coffee and on to Weeze in Germany for Lunch.
