We left super early on Saturday morning, took a three hour train ride up to the north of the Netherlands, and then a ferry across to the island of Terschelling. We rented bikes for the two days we were going to be there so we could bike around - the island has bike paths galore and even some of the beaches were only accessible by bike!
The first day we started biking around the West side of the island to get to the opposite side and the beach that was there. We started late, and on our way back we ran into a lot of rain! The weather there was incredibly unpredictable. When we finally got back to our hostel, we attempted to play some cards but decided to crash early and get a good start the next day.We woke up pretty early and thought that we would bike along towards the east side along a coastal route. We ended up biking through the middle for a little bit and then found our way through a farming community to the coast. Basically this path was between a slope towards the water and a slope of grass full of grazing sheep who Baaaa'ed at you as you rode past, and some charged!
We rode for a little while until we realized it was a giant island and was going to be like this for a while so we turned around and went back. We spent the rest of the afternoon lying on the beach and walking around the main the street until we had to catch the ferry back. Six hours later (and a wrong train) we were back in the Hague and asleep.
