Exhausting Heat Wave

In the middle of an exhausting heat wave it's obvious to visit the beach...
So we headed for the North Sea. To Zwin nature park again.

We saw lots of storks in the surrounding fields...

After a short but very warm walk we arrived at the foot of the hot sand dunes...
and we could take a breath of fresh air at the slightly cooler and quiet beach

Even now, during this heat wave, we had the beach almost to ourselves...

You can see our earlier visits (beautiful photos!) to our favourite beach here

Accompanied by good friends yesterday's nature walk provided rest and relaxation.

Walk

Me, my friend and Abrikozeke went for a walk today.

Too bad they don't live nearby so we could do this more often!

Yesterday I visited national park the Biesbosch. 

You can read some information about the Biesbosch here and here.

Bird watching hut

This is our boat for the day Pak Je Biezen. It's a so called "whispering boat" (electric boat).
The owner Edith took us for a nice trip.
It was a beautiful day and I really enjoyed the company :-)
