Wir standen vor nichts in Zaandam und mussten erst da hin fahren von Expedia aus bis wir Ersatz bekommen haben. Da hatten wir bereits 25,-€ Bahngeld bezahlt, was Expedia nicht interessiert hat. Wir hatten einen Tag vorher gelesen das es an dem Standort nicht existiert und am Anreisetag sofort Expedia kontaktiert. Die Kommunikation hat gut geklappt, nur...

"Die 10 Tage waren ganz nach unserem Geschmack.Wir unsere Ruhe, konnten die Natur genießen und das Treiben von Mensch und Tier auf dem Wasser beobachten. Da das Hausboot fest im Hafen liegt ist ein kleines Motorboot zum erkunden der Gegend vorhanden (15PS) Vom Hausboot bis zum Anlegesteg Fürstenberg sind es mit dem Motorboot ca 15 Minuten. Der Anlegesteg befindet sich in der Gänsehavel. Wir sind von dort Einkaufen und Essen gewesen."

"Our stay was very relaxing. The houseboat is great and it's very pleasant to spend time right on the water. The marina where the houseboat is moored has been newly built and offers a great infrastructure. The marina is quite remote, the next larger town Karlshagen is about 9 km away. Peenemünde is approx. 2.5 km away, but doesn't offer that much."
