André,
Thanks for taking the time to type that long reply, it's greatly appreciated. As pointed out, I'm in England to start with so have no jet lag problems.
Here's a high level map of our trip, not quite what you mentioned, but there were some overlaps. Our overnights will be in Hoorn or Enkhuizen and then in Kleve in Germany before meeting up with my brother in law for the last night in Brussels.
