    We departed from the ferry and rode from Stavoren to Workum via Hindeloopen. . It started to rain so toured the ice skate museum. They used to make sleds out of horse jaws. Ate lunch in Workup and tried smoked herring and a thing called bitterballs. They were spicy vegetable coquettes that went well with beer.

  • Last day in Harlingen

    16 lipca 2019, Holandia ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F

    Spent today in town. Figured out bus schedule to Den Holder, had a wonderful pastry for lunch and then a boat ride out of harbor to look for seals. But really had an interesting trip. Learned how salty the harbor is. The seals hangout on the sandbars right next to the channel. I can't imagine what it is like to navigate this area. Then we ended the trip by backing in thrust the lock and side slipping into the spot along the canal. Czytaj więcej

It was an easy ride. Found the hotel and explored a bit . i found a 3d art, a navy boat parked in a canal next to a private boat, a dike and the ocean, and a submarine surrounded by bikes.
