AMELAND


Our day started early again, We went to the North, to Ameland, an island surrounded by the North Sea. We went by ferry to the island. In the morning it was foggy so we set out quite ill-humoured but I must say that this turned out to be one of the best days of our stay in Holland.



When we arrived we rented bikes to cycle around the isle, to go to the sea and then to go back to the village to see the Sinterklaas of the village. The following pictures speak for themselves.



Sometimes we stopped for a rest and we saw a lot of interesting things. The inhabitants made statues for their island out of the things they found on the seashore.

After that we went to the seashore. The scenery was amazing. It was unbelievable to be on the beach in November. We had a free hour and we could collect shells, walk on the beach, take photos or just enjoy the scenery.



Then we went to the village to see Sinterklaas. We had lunch in a pretty little restaurant where we could taste a Dutch fish specialty. Then we went back to the ship and sadly gave back the bikes. The day went by quickly so quickly that we didn’t even notice. When we got home Annemarie welcomed us with the delicious Dutch-Hungarian gulyás that they bought in the morning. We had dinner and said goodbye to Annemarie and her colleagues. I LOVED this day!!!! I want more J
