86. Europe Bicycle Trip--Day30--A Bicycle Ride Around Half of Vlieland

It is Day 30 already. Time sure flies by. I came to the Netherlands on April 17th and now it is May 16th. It is Friday so many tourists will be arriving today for the weekend.

I walked along the top of the dike by the water and noticed the beautifully manicured back yards. I was on my way to buy my ticket for the ferry that will leave at 5pm.

Then I started bicycling and went to the marina.

The importance of SAND to the Netherlands--the methods 9of adding sand are in English on this sign.

Every year tons of sand are added to the sea

I would have loved to go horse riding but I had scheduled a seal hunting boat ride so i continued with my cycling.

The name of a huge campsite in the dunes.

Tent city

A huge water meter was by this sign.

I think they do lots of 4 wheeling in the dunes on these hills. I cycled the half of the island that is not military land and then returned for my lunch at Nel's house.

This marsh in the dunes attracted a lot of birds.
