21 Miles

crossing to the mainland

Susie:
a really windy day. A short cycle to the ferry across to the mainland then a pretty exciting crossing on high seas on a seacat. Huge waves but sunny.

The last part of the journey was pretty grim, zigzagging against the wind. Lots of effort for not much progress. 

lots of windmills

James:
21 miles in the wind from Middleburg to Sluis. Went into a windmill which was working coz it was so WINDY! 

WINDMILL ACTION!

this was a place that sold giant cartoon animals


our tent's first rain test

Got tent up just before it poured very heavy! Had yummy ribs & chicken for dinner it was Yum!



Made it to the border and camped on the Netherlands side at Sluis. A very pretty walled town. At 9 everywhere was shut for dinner, but they told us about an out- of- the-center place that served late.
