waar zijn mijn klompen?

Some of my family is originally from the Island of Texel, on the coast of the Netherlands. So I decide to coral Tom into a good old family roots visit...even though I wasn´t sure where on Texel they came from. Good oportunity to see some windmills anyway.

We took the ferry over from Den Helder...after I manage to almost not get there. If you ever hear there...don´t get off at ´Den Helder Zuid´, it just means the Den Helder South train station, and it utterly useless unless you like looking at paddocks. Lucky Tom and I are both paddock enthusiasts. Lucky.

We stayed in the village of Oudeschild, in a family owned inn which was lovely. Some fantastic home cooked food, and tried some of the locally made brew.

We generally just chilled and enjoyed the outdoors in Texel, walking along the Dykes, and over to the next village. Such a beautiful place, it was lovely just to meander about the town.
