Schiermonnikoog - Day 2 - Part 1

Saturday morning the sky looked clear.


There was a chance of rain, but we decided to go on a walk anyway.


The water tower in all its glory.


We decided to walk to the lighthouse.


I spotted this sig.
Black Dunes Path. Sounds mysterious.


So of course we had to make a detour and walk along Black Dunes Path. We finally reached a crossroads. One road was leading to other parts of the island, the other had a sign that it was a dead end. However tempting the dead end path looked, we decided to double back to get to the lighthouse.


I saw this cool sign that tells you that dogs can walk free.


Back on track!


It was a really beautiful walk.


The lighthouse!


And look: there's the sea.


I had to go explore a little further of course.

Schiermonnikoog - part 2

Today part 2 of my trip to Schiermonnikoog

After my owner and her OH had a swim and I had my well deserved rest, we walked back to our bikes and on the way we saw these lovely flowers.

A view of the dunes as seen from the beach. From here we went back to the village to get something more to eat and drink. After that it was on to:

The red Lighthouse of Schiermonnikoog!
I can understand why Hammie loves this lighthouse so much as it is very beautiful. (Useless fact: My owner once stitched a lighthouse that looked very much like this one.)

I think the blue sky and the red lighthouse really look amazing together.

The view of the dunes and the sea in the distance when you're standing next to the lighthouse.

And turning the other way I spotted an ice cream cart!
The people who live next to the lighthouse decided that they might as well make some extra money from all those tourists who visit the lighthouse, so they sell ice cream and drinks in front of their house.

One last picture of me and my owner and the lighthouse before we were off to the ice cream cart to get some ice cream.

Next stop was another really beautiful spot: the edge of the forest, where it turns into dunes. Here we had a nice rest and enjoyed the shade after all that sun.

I love trees, they are amazing I think.

There didn't use to be pinetrees on Schiermonnikoog: the pinetrees were planted at the beginning of the last century. I must say I'm glad they planted them.

Don't you agree that a pinecone is just beautiful!


Don't forget to check my blog tomorrow when I will post the third and final part of my trip to Schiermonnikoog!
