Goedenavond,
It’s 9:13 pm but still quite light out. We walked about 7 miles today and have an early day tomorrow so everyone will cash in their chips and be asleep before dark. Remember when you had to do that as a kid and hated it? The wind has been fierce the past several days so taking down the mast hasn’t been possible. Tomorrow early morning there’s a window to do it, like about 7 am. So it will be early up to move the boat to the work area. Once that’s done we can begin our journey for real.

Horses Trucks Sheep and Ducks… and a Train. And a Lobstah
|
We had to wait for this train to go by… before we started off not following the direction I’d written out. But the “serendipitous” route was more scenic and luckily there were some folks along the way to give us directions. |

We met this lovely young woman with her bicycle come to collect her Friesian horse. She asked where we were from and upon hearing, USA immediately said that she loved Americans. Especially some singer who she named whom we’d never heard of. The Friesian breed originated in Friesland, in the Netherlands. She immediately reminded me of my niece Jessica who also has horses. And is lovely!
Only in The Netherlands!
A very well behaved horse for sure. But hopefully she wears a helmet when she rides horses. |

1958 Chevy : a photo Randal wanted as well as those of the Ford below. |
|
1930 Ford with NL on its plate. |
|
Very curious sheep that looks sort of like pigs…maybe related to Babe. |
|
Okay Charmaine and Linda, what kinds of ducks are these? |
|
Friends! |
|
And one very funny Lobstah at Fort Rammekens with something in Dutch to explain what it was doing there.
Forts are not my thing but it was a lovely walk along the sea and the dikes to get there. |
|
More windmills along the serendipitous route |
|
Dikes too. |
