The
Which part is dedicated to the hardware on this day is finished. So I continue with the life onboard - and around. P & O (as well as Cunard) offered a complimentary shuttle to Blankenberge.
Nobody could say that they did not know the departure time of the last bus at 16:30 hrs. To be completely safe you need to add Central European Daylight Time ....
could say no, that he had not known that the last bus goes at 16.30 clock. Water-resistant, it would have been if they had not written a precaution EDT ...
In the bus we got a free overview. At the end of the ten-minute ride was even a Employee of the bus company prepared the information was what you could do or when the next train to Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp or Brussels.
You got in the bus to overview free of charge. At the end the ride came to an agent of the bus company gave information what you can do or when the next train would leave for Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp or Brussels.
Behind the church is the access to the city center.
begins behind the church in the city.
You walk so long here, so that the station is.
But for the station you need to walk here as well.
The train station is round the corner.
Around the corner is already the station. There is already
the station clock.
There is already the clock tower of the station.
Now you see it was the train station building.
And now you can also see that it is the train station.
Links is the road map, which applies on weekdays and right of the road map, which applies to weekends and holidays.
On the left side there is the schedule for the week days and on the right side you find the schedule for the weekend.
The only problem: the ticket machine only works with the Belgian bank card. So you need to queue up if one complete ship arrives. Before you miss the train: you can buy with credit card or in cash so with the conductor. Or check before the internet: http://www.b-rail.be .
The problem: the right machine only works with Belgian bank card. You must do when an entire cruise ship arrives. But before you miss the train: By credit card or cash can also buy from the conductor. Or watch the internet before: http://www.b-rail.be .
Here it goes first towards Bruges. From there it is then to Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels.
Here the Bruges-bound trains depart. From there you can transfer to Ghent, Antwerp or Brussels.
We did not want to use the bus back to the cruise terminal but to try how you can get back on the coastal tramways.
We do not take the bus back, but sometimes test whether and how to deal with the coastal tram back to the Cruise Terminal is.
Just across the road and then keep the tracks.
Just across the street and the trams stop here.
Left is a ticket outlet. Do not wonder if you buy two tickets. You get it on one ticket and you do not need to cancel / validate / punch. To Zeebrugge it's 1.20 EUR again.
left is the sales agent. Do not be surprised if one wants to buy two tickets there, you get everything on one card that can no longer be canceled. Zeebrugge to it again 1,20 EUR per person.
Zeebrugge is towards Knokke.
Zeebrugge Knokke is bound.
But here you can not find any information we need to get back.
Unfortunately, we find no useful information here.
runs during the season to train so every 15 minutes. Apparently a day starts later at the off-season. Only every 20 minutes.
During the peak season the tram runs every 15 minutes. The next day obviously the off-season starts: every 20 minutes.
The tram approched.
Here she comes.
The stop Zeebrugge Kerk (church), we have seen in the drive to Blankenberge. It is thus before the Cruise Terminal. Then the following would be Zeesluis Zeebrugge (Seeschloß).
During the transfer bus we saw already the Zeebrugge stop Kerk (Church). It should be from here ahead of the port gate. Thereafter it should be Zeebrugge Luis Lake (Sea Palace).
So we passed the port entrance.
We drive past the terminal entrance.
After a giant loop that we drive at the moment, because of bridge construction are scheduled, we arrive at Zeebrugge Zeesluis.
After a very big loop Which we had to go due to bridge closure we arrived at Zeebrugge Zeesluis.
We were happy that the bridge was open for cars, bikes and pedestrians.
Fortunately the bridge for pedestrians, cyclists and cars is open.
top of the folded-bridge would have been probably the best way to take the ARTEMIS.
On the top of the bridge reclided you must have the best Possibility to take pictures of our ARTEMIS.
After 10-15 minutes (including breaks for taking pictures) we arrived at the port gate. To the church (the other stop) it would not be much more closer.
After about 10-15 minutes (including breaks to take pictures) we come back to the entrance to the terminal. To the church (the other station) it would not have been much closer.
And as far Zeesluis was not. For me as shipspotters this is the best option to also times to photograph the ship. Only in the morning it must be turned better.
It was not too far away to Zeesluis. For me as ships potter it was the best option to take pictures of the ship. But in the morning time it would be better.
Now we had our cruise card. So it should not apply to us.
We do have a boarding pass. This applies to us not determined.
is here for us to end the run: we have to wait for a shuttle that must take us from here to the ship.
This was the end of our walk: we were asked to wait for a bus shuttle Which would take us to the ship.
So close was the tram running from the cruise terminal. But there was no close-by tram stop and no way to walk to the tram.
would be so near the coastal tram at the Cruise Terminal. Just not near the bus stop and no way from here to run the ship.
When we run out it is not so hazy so that we could look to Heist.
When we set sail it was not anymore So Dizzy so we had a chance to see Heist.
From there we took the pictures of the ship.
So there we have photographed.
We are dragged out.
A TUG pulled us away from the pier.
We did not see more of Captain David Perkins on board. The next 30 minutes we tried to reach Lufthansa German Airlines in Belgium. No success. But we could not reach Lufthansa in Germany and in the UK either. Who cares? We enjoyed the evening onboard. The reception made the print-outs of the boarding passes for us so we thought to have something in our hand before they canceled the flight again. We thought to be on the safe side but we were not.
More by Captain David Perkins, we see unfortunately not on board. The next thirty minutes we try to reach Lufthansa in Belgium. Unfortunately without success. In Germany and the UK, we do not reach Lufthansa. What does it do? We enjoy the evening on board. Has printed our boarding passes at the reception desk for us and so we have something in hand before the flight was canceled later. We thought that we were on the safe side.
