Schiermonnikoog - Day 3 - Part 1


On Sunday it looked like it would stay dry so we went for a long walk.


It was sunny, but there were also still clouds, which made for a beautiful sky.




After a walk in the woods we spotted the WWII bunker.


We decided to visit the bunker.


But first we made a detour.


We visited the small cemetery Vredenhof, which has Commonwealth war graves


There are soldiers buried here from both WWI & WWII, as well as some unknown persons who washed up on the shore of the island.


It's a small, peaceful graveyard.




After visiting the Vredenhof we went to the bunker.


On top of the bunker you have a great view.


There's also a metal map of the island on top of the bunker.


It had rained a lot so we didn't go inside the bunker.
It looked as if it might be very wet and dank inside.


Instead we continued our walk.


And after a while we reached the beach.


Coming next: lots of beach pictures
