Friday 13th July – Day 16

We got up. Had breakfast. Drove off the ferry, round Newcastle and home!

Thursday 12th July – Day 15

Today we packed up and went to the ferry port.  This time the ferry was on time!!!

Wednesday 11th July – Day 14

Last Day!  Today we went to the seal sanctuary at Pieterburen.  Jen left her monkey in the shop, so we had to go back.

Later, we went to Eenrum to see the smallest hotel in the world.  It has a reception and one bedroom.  As it was our last night, we went back to the site for Pancakes!

Tuesday 10th July – Day 13

Today we went swimming and then out to buy food.  We had a very quiet day followed by a walk around the site.

Monday 9th – Day 12

Another sunny day.  We went for a drive up to the North Sea coast and saw the island of Schiermonnikoog from the dam wall at Lauwersoog.  Between us and the island were the mudflats.

We had a picnic at Roebenoord, then drove to Dokkum where we had a wander round the shops and bought ice cream.

We went to the camp restaurant for dinner.  Savoury Pancakes and ice cream.

Sunday 8th July – Day 11

It was a hot and sunny day so we put our shorts on and played Crazy Golf.  Dad won because he was taking it seriously!  We went for a pancake and an Ice Lolly, followed by a lazy afternoon and BBQ.

Saturday 7th July – Day 10

When we got up, it was dry!  We decided that we would be better staying where we were, so we had to go and get our awning and stuff from the old pitch.

After we had put up the awning again, we went for a drive to Buidenpost to get food for tomorrow.  It stayed nice so we had a wander round the shops.  There was a toy shop and a bike shop.  The weather should be hot tomorrow so we will have a BBQ.

Friday 6th July – Day 9

It was raining, so we went to the museum in Groningen.

We thought that the museum was good.  We liked the aliens best!

It rained and rained, so when we came back to the site, we got stuck in the mud.  A lot of people tried to help push us out but it didn’t work.  Eventually the camp site man came with his tractor.  We had to go to a different pitch on a different part of the site for the night.

Thursday 5th July – Day 8

The sun was shining and it was HOT!!

Went swimming in the camp site pool which we had to ourselves. After a lazy morning and lunch we went into Drachten to buy our tea and we found an outdoor shop that sold cool little juice bottles.

Since the weather was nice, we had a BBQ.

Wednesday 4th July – Day 7

Last night there was a thunder storm and it didn’t stop raining ’till 5 ‘o’ clock this afternoon. We got up really late and decided to go to the museum in Groningen. The traffic in Groningen was so bad that we couldn’t get there in time.

We headed back to the camp site, stopping in Leek to buy our tea. We bought horrible milk and horrible liquorice but really nice Sugar Bread.
