Top 7: Vuurboetsduin Vlieland, Friesland - 11 km / 18 Photos

6-Nov-2024
After a night in the Anna Casparii hotel in Harlingen we had only s short walk to the ferry terminal to take the
09.10 hrs ferry to Oost-Vlieland where we arrived at 10:45 hrs to start our walk.
At the end of the hike we had lunch in Hotel Zeezicht and waited 2 hours for the ferry to take us back to Harlingen.
After the 1.5 hrs ferry ride my sister drove us back to Ede where she lives and from there I took the train to The Hague.
