On our stroll through town we came across the leaning tower.
Another leaning building
Some lovely gardens who must have a very patient gardener with an eye for geometric shapes.
We went to the pannekoekschip for pancakes
Listened to the music in the park.
After visiting Winsum for the Fierljeppen contest we headed for Harlingen. We passed through this very interesting lifting bridge.
Our overnight stop on a small canal gave us a chance to have a game of boules.
We arrived in Harlingen a very old port with wonderful atmosphere, it was made a city in 1234. We organised our tickets for the ferry to take us to Terschelling Island the next day.
Terschelling Island
Early next morning we caught the ferry to Terschelling another popular holiday island with the Waddensea one side and the North Sea on the other.
We had a great time riding bicycles around the island and visited a great museum/bar/café with all sorts of interesting marine finds from wrecks and overboard containers.
We also came across this war cemetary with several Australian war graves. Families in Terschelling adopt a grave to look after which we thought was a nice gesture.
How about this, an island out in the North Sea and they are serving Kangaroo fillet and mango salsa.
The port here is popular with all sorts of sailing ships.
The square brick lighthouse was first built in 1590. Can you imagine the tales it could tell.
By late afternoon the wind and waves made their presence felt as we made our way back to the mainland. I am glad we were in a big ferry.
Arthur and Diana caught the train back to Rotterdam and we went back to Kuikhorne to get the boat ready to leave it for the winter.
