Off the ship

I went to sleep at 12:30 AM as we passed Leer. The crowds were enormous along the river as the Dream completed her conveyance. I fell asleep listening to Disney show tunes blaring from the open deck speakers. I can remember hearing the main ship horn a few times through the night. At 4:30 I awoke to a loud vibration. After awhile I decided to get up and peer outside. As I arose I felt as though the ship was listing. When I pulled the curtains in my PJs I saw multiple camera flashes from across the river. The crowds were still out and the thrusters we going full blast. I later learned we were going under a bridge and they leaned the ship to clear it.

We made it to Eemshaven by 9am Saturday.  I had little time to view out but what I did see is windmills far out on the horizon. This port makes the offshore wind turbines which are built complete and towed out to sea. Until you see one on the ground it is hard to judge their size.  We passed a single blade and it seems the bus took a minute to drive by it.
We are on our way to Amsterdam next.  On a bus with about 20 others. Imagineers, Character actors from Disneyland Paris the Shoreside Communication team and us.
