Texel




Texel is one of the Dutch islands north of the city Den Helder. John and I took many train and bus rides to Den Helder where we then took a ferry to the island. We stayed in the village, Den Koog, which is a kitschy little beach town. We spent the weekend walking through the beach and sand dunes, biking around the island (which is about 15.5 miles long by 5.5 miles wide) and hiking through the woods. The island is basically all farmland besides a few villages throughout.





The beach



That's me biking


And hiking


Lots of tulips were growing wild alongside the road.




Goofy golf!


I fell in love with goats when I saw these babies playing and jumping around in their owner's front yard.


And of course we found an old WWII bunker in the forest
