beelikej: (Swim)
Hey hello y'all, I haven't done a proper post in a while (even though I did keep my Booklist up to date;-)
I've been working a lot and traveling* for work in the past few months as well, which I shared at my Instagram instead of here. But even though I get more feedback there, it's not as satisfying as making a full on picspam post, so I'm back here with a new travel report of my personal summervacation trip to Terschelling, one of the islands in the North of the Netherlands.

My history with the Wadden Islands )
Now, without further ado, here's an old fashion picspam with loads of babbling about my most recent travels: Four days on Terschelling!

DAY 1: Arrival and first exploration )

DAY 2: A bit of Cycling )

DAY 3: A horse-drawn wagon )

DAY 4: A museum visit )

I had an excellent time \o/ The end.

My next work-trip will be in about two weeks, to England again and I'm currently working towards the big biannual international conference in September), destination to be revealed later; (What is my life?!)

In between work and travels I also participated in another Phase of Land of Art, I will share graphics in the near future (promise;)

beelikej: (To See The World...)
Yesterday I came home from a lovely four day trip to one of the Wadden Islands up in the North of the Netherlands: Ameland. It's an hour by train and half an hour by bus plus another 50 minutes by ferry, so just enough travel to make if feel like a true vacation:-) I had booked a fancy suite in a 'boutique' hotel with 2 (two!) rain showers and a free-standing bath tub. I had brought a whole bunch of books to read and hadn't really planned to be very active. Beforehand I had checked if I could hire a regular bicycle, but found they only had bikes with gears or e-bikes available and neither suits me. But upon arrival at the hotel I discovered there was a rental bikeshop just around the corner so I decided to ask in person and they had a perfect bike available after all. I love cycling lots and it's so much easier to move around than walking and I couldn't resist exploring the island beyond the tiny village I stayed in. Want to come along? Here's a picspam of my first two days...

Day 1: Travel to Nes )

Day 2: Cycling to 't Oerd )

Size facts about Ameland: the island is 25km long and varies in width from 4km in the West to only 2km in the East. There live about 3700 people permanently and all year round there are about 40,000 visitors (25,000 from Germany)!

To be continued!
