Thursday April 23
Somehow it feels the end of vacation is near. After breakfast we took a look what is in the back of the house. We had discovered there seemed to be a walkway.
There was a canal and we looked left and right. When it is a bit warmer probably very nice to sit on that bench.
Corry googled and suggested to have a look at Den Helder. It was only about 5 miles.
Except … we missed a turn. It immediately changed our route instead of telling us to turn. It was more like wondering for 40 years in the wilderness but of course we still had fun. Especially when we encountered a closed street the map didn’t know about but we found soon that the yellow sign with the C means detour. The line must mean end of it.
Finding a parking place in the centrum was a bit of a challenge but we were lucky.
We asked two teenage girls what there was to see. The answer: nothing and that it was little and boring (there words in English). But we walked a little around anyway.
The water tower looked like it might have a viewing platform on top but is was not open.
There was a strip of grass though with several sculptures. All seem to depict craftsmanship.
Corry thought we should drive towards were the ferry leaves for the island Texel.
That was a good idea. No problem with parking either.
A very cold wind blew on the Dijk though.
We walked to the end and back on the lower street were the wind didn’t blow. Ute found a very good place (watching dogs at a training school).
Corry and Ute plandered the fridge and made a lovely dinner with all the leftovers.
And yes, we played cards and had a good time until it was time to "call it a day".
Step count: 7,447 (oh oh, Fitbit told me also that my sleep duration was only 4 hr 59 min)
