't Drenkelingenhuisje

Believe it or not... it doesn't look like much... but this is a marriage location.

Ages ago we decided to get married here and we go back there if we can.

The cabin is a really small beachcomb museum and now they told us

it's 1 of 10 most wanted marriage locations in the world.

Yeah right... it sounds like a story for tourism but having said that

it worked for us and we wouldn't change it for the world!

Once we decided to get married, we searched for a perfect and remote location.

We found 't Drenkelingenhuisje, a cabin built on the Vliehors for stranded sailors.

Twenty years ago our family and close friends joined us to the Sahara of the North.

So we went back again, this time accompanied by close friends...

IK LAAD MIJN HART VOL WADDENZEE. EEN BEETJE STIEKEM, ZONDER VRAGEN

IK NEEM EEN BEETJE VLIELAND MEE, ZOVEEL ALS IK KAN DRAGEN

Vlieland is such a tranquil place...

Some Summer Moments

On July 12th...

On August 3th... a jumping kenderman...

On August 30th...

Homesick for Vlieland

Vlieland is one of my happy places... sea, beach and quietness...

I just love secluded beaches... a peaceful stroll in solitude...

a bit of beachcombing...

in the evening a delicious diner for two at the Armhuis

followed by another day of cycling, walking and searching (smile)

The kenderman is taking shelter here.

The strong wind made it almost impossible to set foot on the Vliehors.

you can't tell but the wind was fierce!

On our way back to the cottage I spotted some Soay sheep in the dunes.

And on Monday we arrived back to the mainland.

We'll go back to Vlieland (over and over) again...

B-Day

My perfect birthday is a day on the beach...

searching for fossils... having the beach to ourselves

late in the afternoon the mist is rising again...

almost like a 17th century painting by Paulus Potter
