Port Side Parking!!!

Thought Id share this as It made me remember some very daft accidents we have heard about in the past… (Mostly on the Narrow boat admittedly) but some funnies have happened over the years..

THIS daft driver missed a turning on his way to meet his pals — and ended up parked on a cargo ship. Dozy student Tom Stockreiter, 19, and three pals were left hanging upside down over the River Enns in Ennsdorf, Austria. The lads eventually managed to scramble clear with the help of local cops. Mr Stockreiter said: "I just missed a left turn but when I went straight on I saw I was going straight to the river. "I slammed on the brakes but the car skidded and just went even faster." He added: "Then we took off and all I could see was water until we hit something.
"It was exciting but I wouldn't want to do it again."

no less than ten different options, all close to the port. There are of course hotels right at the port that don’t offer the cruise parking option, however there are specialist cruise car parks below are some companies that offer parking.

I’ve heard reports that the traffic can be a tad manic on departure days, so Id definitely allow extra time (An hour extra minimum)for getting from these car parks to the port – It may be that is too much time, however I would prefer more time than to be rushed. I’d love to hear your stories and tales about your journey to port
Has anyone else got any water/dock side related stories, Id love to hear them if your in the mood for sharing!!
