Our Trip To The Netherlands - Diary Part One / Arriving on Texel and Vlieland (analog)

We are standing on top of the ferry and it starts to rain slowly. Our hair is covered in

tiny raindrops so I put my hat on while I look over the North Sea.

After rushing from a train to another, Florian getting his wallet stolen in one

 of them and arriving much too late on the ferry because one of the bridges our

 train should cross got broken it feels so peaceful to be out here. 

The water is so calm and the other people on the ferry haven't reached the top yet.

Only the seagulls fly above us and ask for some food. As the ferry starts I can't

even feel it moving like it flies above the water like a leaf.

The rain starts to become heavier and so we look for shelter inside.

When we arrived we stop in a little town

to buy some food for dinner. At our little BandB a lovely old man opens the door

and introduces us to everything we need to know about our stay here. He takes us

to our tiny room that looks just as I imagined, very lovely and cute. :) Everything

is in pastel yellow and blue and above our bed there is a little poster framed with known

birds that live on the seaside. 

With some bread, fruits, hummus and cheese we

sit on our bed in our room and let the day and. 

On the next day we wake up early, because of the bright shining sun that

makes these beautiful patterns on the wall. At 9 o'clock the house owner knocks

at the door and as we open it he stand there with a big wooden

tray full of delicious breakfast and a warm smile. 

We have to eat a little faster, because we have to walk to the

ship that gets us to Vlieland. 

 We sit on top of the ship on wooden benches and

look at each other. The waves beside us, the rain starts to begin.

This trip feels very exciting because of the big waves and all the people screaming

a little now and then when one of the big waves crashes on the ship

and makes us all wet. 

As we arrive there is a bus that is also a truck at the same
time. He drives trough the parts people can't walk by feet. Kilometers of nothing,
of peace and loneliness, of beauty.

I watch the bus making tracks in the sand and as we drive over the dunes

we see the Posthuis, it's our stop!

From here we explore the island with two rented bikes.

A hat, me and a cake - Holiday Plans

Just a few pieces of summer

before we start our trip to the Netherlands. 

We begin our holiday on the lovely island Texel, take a ship to Vlieland

and we will be walking trough the streets of Amsterdam again. Maybe we

will also say hello to Utrecht, who knows!

It seems like we will have a lot of rain and stormy wind, so 

we have to explore the islands with raincoats instead of sandals.

Do you have any summer plans

or maybe you have been somewhere nice already?

I would love to hear if there is anyone still looking

at this blog? 

Many hugs, see you soon.

Songs of July

July

 has been a good music month.

I discovered many new good things and listened

to them all over again. I enjoyed the tracks on my bike in the park or at my desk 

on nights where I worked until I almost fell asleep there.

And also while we rearranged our living room that now feels like a whole 

new home to us. Sometimes it can even help to move things around and

 buy a new plant or just some simple pen holders! : )

Yellow signs of summer

I felt so happy when I discovered this tiny field 

of sunflowers near the river behind another field.

This kind of yellow just seems so friendly and pure, 

just like summer.
