Vlieland, Part II

Bikers were the main way we explored Vlieland, and on our second day we rode around the entire island, which basically took all day.


Fun in the dunes...



One of Barbara's favorite things about the islands up north are the big swings in tides. With the waters so shallow in this area, there are a lot of channels that have been dug to allow for larger boat traffic, but in a lot of cases, you have to know your navigation well to avoide shallow areas. And often when anchored you just accept that you'll be laying on the bottom when the tide goes out.


We don't seem to eat as much at meals here, but we eat/drink more often. We love the mid-morning coffee stops.


We enjoyed a picnic at the end of the day, hidden in the dunes, away from the wind. Cheese, bread, and some mystery orange spreadable meat called "filet American."


And finally, Morgan had enough of the bike seat, so she invented the "Mopper" (aka the Morgan Chopper), which is sitting on the back rack of the bike. We didn't exactly have ape hanger handle-bars, but you get the idea.
