Finally I am back in Germany. Last week me and Daniel have been in Holland. We had a pretty good time there doing nearly nothing drinking beer, walking on the Beach and visiting the nearby city.
The way to holland was pretty much not organized. We only knew that we want to camp somewhere near the see and that it has to be in Holland.
We left on last Monday somewhere around 5:30 AM from Ingolstadt. We drove the A9 then the A3 in direction of Koeln.
Somewhere around Koeln we made a short stop to go shopping. We bought two cans of food that we could worm up on our gas cooker and some coke for the remaining ride.
We continued our jurney to holland somewhere in the south but you have to ask Daniel where exactly because I was only following his instructions.
Around 17:00 PM we arrived at the coast of Holland and landed in a very small Town called “Wiek am Zee” IIRC. We also found a camping place there that was in the middle of the town. Because we wanted something that is not so far from the sea (this camping place was 1km away from the water) we decided to drive back to the south and search something else. We also bought a card of Holland with recreation centers marked on it.
We finally found a place to rest around 19:00 PM
The camping place had not much space so we had to check first if we manage to put our car and tent somewhere on the Youth camping area. We were lucky.
On tuesday we went to the sea because it was pretty hot. And did not pretty much that day. The following night it got bit colder and on Wenesday it rained the whole morning. But in the evening it got better.
On thursday we went to the nearby city to look at it a bit.
In the night from thursday to friday it rained a lot and our tent turned out to be not really a tent. I do define a tent a thing that prevents the rain to get on your head or in our case on our feet.
We were simply too long so we opened the door all the time with our feet.
On Friday we have decided to pack our wet things and drive to Amsterdam, visit the city and drive back home.
In Amsterdam we visited the Vincent Van Gogh museum. That was very interesting and we spent over 5 hours there.
We arrived at 4:00AM Saturday in Ingolstadt.
I am now uploading the images I took there.
Sorry that this description of the week is so short but I did one very big mistake. I have not made sure that I can write blog entries without being so dependant on a hardwired power plug and I hate paper because I always have to retype everything I write on it 😉
[Note to self] make sure to be power independent when you drive somewhere where power is not a sure thing 😉
