    So in readiness for the Scottish trip next weekend, Waspy and I went to suss out Ijmuiden where the ferry leaves from.
    We stop for fish and chips and investigate a part of the Atlantic Wall where there are several WW2 German bunkers.

    Ha. The ferry was in whilst I was there. It’s a big bugger. Waspy should fit in there quite nicely

    Nope, they said I was a dangerous biker and only gave me a wooden fork. Hopefully they have mushy peas in Scotland, but 2 out of 3 isn’t bad. When I saw outside it was advertising fish and chips, I had to do an emergency stop. :cool:

    I was going to ask where’s the obligatory for that part of the world Mayo, but then I spotted it ;):)

    It’s not mayo but remoulade sauce. Which is very popular over here with fried fish.

    Isn’t Mayo and chips a delicacy in the Netherlands or is it just Belgium :rolleyes:

    No it is here too Dave, it’s just that the fish automatically came with the remoulade. I suppose I could’ve asked for mayo but I was happy dipping my chips in the remoulade.

    Good decision Nikki, because knowing all the picky gourmets on the trip I doubt Dougie will take us anywhere near a chippy.

    Oh no. I was rather hoping to grab some nice fish chips and peas. That’s a real delicacy for me these days. Maybe Dougie will relent :)
