It is an hour before the check in gate opens and 4 passengers are waiting to embark for an overnight sailing to the Hook of Holland. They will soon be joined by several coachloads of foreign exchange students and West Ham football club fans, who are travelling to watch their team play in a Europa Conference League semi-final match against AZ Alkmaarin in the Netherlands the next day. If time is not of the essence, then this is a pleasant and relatively stress free way of getting to Europe.
