Rest Day in Callantsoog.

Even though it rained last night, today is full on sun. We have a lovely view of farm land and a slough from our room. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and then decided to hit the town, what there is of it. From the beach you cannot see it because it lies below sea level behind a dune. We strolled around until we came to a coffee place and sat in the lovely sunshine. We enjoyed the resident birds who patiently waited for people to leave in order to indulge in any left overs.

We decided to stroll on the beach and were assailed by a stiff wind from the southwest. Some guys were doing some maintenance on the rock piers sticking out into the ocean. Jeff had a chat with them about it. The piers help to bring in more sand as the beaches here are quite narrow. 

Then it was lunchtime and of course we had to sit in a beach house on stilts on the beach in order to have our noses right on the surf. The glass panels nicely kept the wind away from us. We decided to forego the croquettes today and ordered pancakes instead.

I also dipped into an Albert Hein store and admired the offerings with considerable envy!

Oh, yes. And Jeff got a hair cut at the Funny Hair Salon in town!
