Trip Summary
We wished to see a bit of Friesland in the very north of The Netherlands. Thus, we took the ferry to Ameland, where we landed south of Nes. Within minutes, we had rented some bikes and started our little explortion tour in this island. We first followed the dam on the southern side of Ameland towards the west. Even though the entire island is almost completely flat, this part of the tour was kind of demanding due to strong headwinds. After a while, we approached Hollum on the westside of Ameland, where we enjoyed a little break. Before returning, we made a short detour to the big lighthouse of Hollum. Afterwards, we continued back towards Nes, but this time on the northern side of Ameland (amid the wide-stretched dunes of Ameland). About half way back, we stopped for a short exploration of the flat ocean in the north of Ameland. Eventually, we returned to the place, where we had started, returned the bikes, and left Ameland with the ferry, again.
