Hi Tore,

If you want to go shipspotting just go to the Maasvlakte,you can stay there all day and you can see all the ships coming in to the port.

Thanks Dave,when you are at Rozenburg,dont now the name,but its going in the middel of the kanal,can you drive out on this?

[Dave van Spronsen]

Tore,

Yes you can drive all the way to the end it's called the Landtong,
On the left side you can see the Tankers and Thialf and on the right side the Waterway all traffic in and out the city,
But at the Landtong you will not see the Big containervessels coming in,

Thanks Fred,i think thats all i need to now in Rotterdam,its only Ijmuiden and Cuxhaven i need more info from,so if there are somone whit good places in this towns,let me now.

Regards Tore

I think the locks and the Southpier are the best places in IJmuiden .
Here you can do the same trick with Google streeview.
You cannot enter the south or north pier by car but you can go there on foot or by bike.
The locks are accesible.

Cheers Fred

Hi Tore,

Understand you'll be staing at the Beer Hotel. Remember when you'd like to drive towards Rozenburg and the Landtong, not to take the Thomassentunnel in the A 15. Please take the Calandbridge instead. It'll save you a lot of extra mileage....

[Tore Hettervik]

Hello Robert

Thanks for the info,I see that I can turn right befor the tunel and the drive over it to the bridgh.
