Coastal weather. This morning, strong winds and that drizzle you can't see but feel.

This afternoon, everything was perfect again. So we cycled around the upper part of the island. Everything was very beautiful here.

The Salzgitter on the Il is simply beautiful with its many plants and birds. I even saw a fat rat.
