It turned out yesterday was not our last day in Leiden. Because were not sure which way to go yesterday and only decided early in the morning, we didn’t have much sleep and couldn’t get up early. Now we aren’t early birds anyway, so when we were up and about it was more approaching afternoon than that it was morning.
When we went to the marina office to return the key they told us that they wouldn’t operate the bridge during lunch break. That meant we had to wait until half past one. We followed their example and had lunch first before leaving, but when we were finished it was already after two.
Much too late to leave, so we collected the key for the sanitary building again, paid for another night and started planning tomorrow’s trip.
Funny, we both felt reluctant to leave, and were quite relieved when we had decided to stay another day. So it’s probably for the better. Before we left we were often given the advise to trust your instincts, and never to do something that doesn’t feel right. So we’re probably better off staying here today.
