Our trip to the Netherlands. Diary Part Two - Vlieland (analog)

...On Vlieland the wind is so strong that it's hard to explore the island

by bike, but somehow we manage to see so many different beautiful parts!

After five minutes Florian tells me there is a cemetery here he wants

to see, so we take the small path on the right and see that

surprisingly it's a pet cemetery after we read the names 'snoopy' and 'storm'.

It's somehow very strange and cute at the same time.

For the first time on this trip we are touching the sea and have snacks on the dunes.

Even if so many people came with the bus the island seems empty.

Every now and then we meet someone with a bike, but mostly it's just

us, the birds, the wind and the water.

We are watching birds from a little hut. They built it

to protect the birds from all the visitors here. 

After some minutes we see a swarm of birds lifting up

and flying above us! At that moment we are filming 

a little video and are very happy to capture this wonderful

thing. 

The nature is so different on every place. 

We see moss that is in a light green color and the softest

I have ever touched. Little yellow flowers bloom in it and

beside the moss there are large areas of purple heather as well

as dying trees. I love it here.
