Week 22 mini-holiday

Week 22

Mostly just photos this week. (and not much for next week - I just have to catch up with my bookwork!)

Frank and Pam visiting from Melbourne (and France). They are extreme travellers and adapted to boat life quite well. It might have been more relaxed if we had 2 months instead of 6 days, but we managed to fit quite a bit in - in between restaurants and marathon training! We were blessed with good weather and I was so pleased to be able to use the boat with such good company. And, of course, all due to the good graces of Janny, who can manage the business all on her own, if required. (I couldn't!).

Who would have thought? 30 odd years later....

Starting at Felder's Boskje (Wijnjewoude) and finishing up at Heerenveen.

In rather typical "can-do" fashion, Frank had ensured that there were folding bicycles on board - by buying them in Melbourne and bringing them all the way here!

First night at Oldeberkoop

Not a restaurant or shop open, so we had to improvise with food. Pam was rather alarmed that so many people from the "Rustplaats" family had died and were buried at the local cemetery... a good laugh when I told her that it means "Resting Place", in Dutch. 

Refuelling at Langelille

2nd night at Ossenzijl

3rd Night at Blokzijl

4th night at Driewegsluis

Complete with BBQ, sunset and a swim!

5th night at Boornzwaag

Bentley parked outside the toilet block - so sad!

6th Night outside Terherne

With a strong on-shore wind necessitating some thought about using ropes, motor and rudder to get us off.

Shower improvisation...

Some sights along the way...
