The Frisian Islands



Tomorrow morning I will leave the house early to meet RE and depart on our traditional summer bike trip. This year, we will go North to the island of Texel first. (some 100 km). The plan is to take a small ferry from Texel to Vlieland on Saturday and we'll see what we do after that. The weather forecast is quite good so we may stay on the island on Sunday for some swimming / sunbathing before biking / training home on Monday. The Frisian Islands (or "Wadden Eilanden" as they are called in Dutch) are some of my favourite spots in the world to relax. Cars are mostly banned on Vlieland so it is very quiet and peaceful there. Now if only we can resist the temptation to bike too fast.....three years ago the second day of the trip all energy left my body. Don't want that to happen again!
