Today we went to the lighthouse and the seal sanctuary on the island of Texes. On the way to the lighthouse, we followed well-maintained paths along the dike. We passed several sights (see photo gallery). On the way back, we went uphill and downhill through the sand dunes. Finally, we visited the seal

Unfortunately, Kommot didn't record the entire voyage.
I couldn't document the arrival in Oudeschild because we were having dinner. 😉

Today, after the tour briefing, we hit the road. We combined the three routes suggested by the tour operator and developed our own route. It took us inland and, in the final section, along the dike. Motorcycles and cars are also present here, requiring special caution.
Hoorn is a city and a former base

This evening we took the boat from Medemlik to Enkhuizen, where our 7-day bike-and-boat trip began and ended.
The highlight of the evening was the heartfelt thanks to the entire crew and the evening dinner with the ice parade.
It had been a wonderful few days. If you're interested, you should simply experience
