Belgium - Zeebrugge (continued)

A windy Saturday with gusts up to 37 mph, but we had a good walk around the port area, seeing the naval facility, cruise ship terminal and the Royal Belgian Yacht Club. The camperstop I counted has overnight parking for 20 motorhomes, with some staying two nights. If shipping rocks your boat this is a well recommended camperstop.

The container ship Thalassa

Above the Thalassa at some 350m in length shows one of the container ships currently in port.

There were a good choice of properties for sale around the greater port area, which must be indicative of the current financial constraints affecting the EU. Cafe's and bistro's around the yacht club moorings seemed to be trading as usual however.
