Christmas Holiday, Texel

On Monday we took our motor-home to enjoy a holiday, we first went to Texel, one of the islands in the North of the Netherlands, where we've been before and that we like a lot.
When we arrived the dogs needed to investigate the environment.

We immediately went to the beach that is very close-by the site that we were staying at. It was already starting to get dark when we arrived at the beach.

We stayed a mid-week on Texel. We took the bikes for a tour around the island three times. The first time we took the doggy-rides with us and we drove to the North part of the island.

On the way we stopped a couple of times to find a cache. One of the caches was hidden on a small airport.

Another was hidden near the station of the rescue people.

And the target of that day was a cache near a beautiful lighthouse.

We had a week with a lot of sun, but overall it was very cold, but that doesn't seem to harm the boys.

On Christmas day we took the bikes without the doggy-rides to ride to two earth caches not to far from where we were staying. The dogs walked beside the bicycles the whole part.
The areas were very beautiful. Here we are standing at a look-out point of one of the earth caches.

We walked along the dunes towards another earth cache located on the highest dune of the island.

On the way back we walked along the beach, which is always a lot of fun. Toby ran towards the sea and looks back where we are staying.

Both doggies running towards the sea.

A movie that shows the fun we had at the beach.

On Boxing day we took the bikes again to go for an almost 30 KM ride to the South of the island. Again a beautiful sunny day.

I created a trip where we had a stop every 3 or 4 Km. The boys walked all by them selves.

A lovely piece of nature where our favorite cattle walk loose and we had to pass by them on very short distances. Rather impressive, sunny, but cold, what a blessed people we are.

Another stop at a nice church.

And after a day full of activity what's better than to relax in the motor home.
