The island of Texel
(pronounced Tessel) is all about biking and walking in nature.
Here we are on bikes behind the dunes, which Holland leaves
natural for miles inland.
|
 |
A typical house
in the dunes - which we'd like to have!
|
 |
Biking on a dike.
|
 |
Stopping to mingle
with the critters.
|
 |
Back on the path.
|
 |
Stopping to buy
local. Honey and eggs at this one - you just leave the
money in the cup.
|
 |
Entering a village.
|
 |
|
 |
Stopping for asparagus
soup in this little café.
|
 |
Typical houses.
|
 |
|
 |
Can't get more Dutch:
houses, a windmill and sheep behind the dike.
|
 |
Back to the coastline.
|
 |
The North Sea.
|
 |
Hey, Ronnie.
|
 |
Back on the bikes.
The wind is so strong, Ron wants to use the umbrellas as sails.
|
 |
Having a little
trouble at first.
|
 |
Stopping to repair
the umbrella.
|
 |
Now it's working!
Wait for me!
|
 |
This is NOT easy!
I'm also managing the camera.
|
 |
This is the nesting
area of spoonbills that have migrated from Africa.
|
 |
Here they come.
|
 |
So cool!
|
 |
These are friends
we made at our bungalow.
|
 |
Back to the beach
for ice cream and the sunset.
|
 |
Another
great trip. (I'm still managing the camera, doing the long-arm
shot.)
