''[[User:Kardan|I]] got a hint by a very nice CS fellow concerning this way:''
 
<pre>But I do have to tell you to might think over hitching
 
from Hoek van Holland. I have tried it and it was one
 
of the worst things... I got thrown out of the port by
 
really aggressive guards telling me I was an illegal
 
immigrant and so on...
 
I mean I have hitched from lots of ports in my life and
 
never really had any problems as the truck drivers usually
 
don't pay for extra passengers and are cool to take
 
you... So if you really wanna go that way hitch a bit
 
before the port.. There are for example a little petrol
 
station just before, so if you get a lift there with
 
someone not going to Harwich, tell them to drop you
 
off there instead of taking you all the way to the
 
port and when you are with the truck driver you can
 
just as well be there colleague or relative or
 
whatever...
 
But to be honest, not many ferries goes from there so if
 
you do not get on one you probably have to sped the
 
night outside if the cold in the middle off a huge
 
industrial area in the middle of nowhere...
 
I had to get a lift back to Rotterdam that night and
 
spent the night there and then hitch south to Calais
 
to get the ferry to Dover the next day.. Quite
 
frustrating as I was so close to get home and then had
 
to change plans as they would never let me in to that
 
port again..
 
Oh, well good luck whatever you end up doing!</pre>
