Nice day tour from Den Helder to Texel. First we went to Oudeschild then via Den Burg with its beautiful old town to De Koog. Back on the west side through beautiful pine and oak forests past Den Horn back to the ferry.

We took the ferry to Texel this morning and then had 7 hours to explore the island. The wind really took a toll on our batteries. Texel is very beautiful, green, has beautiful beaches and lots of agriculture with suicidal animals 🐑🚴‍♀️😆
