It was finally supposed to happen today! Buying wooden shoes also worked, although the selection was very large 😀. Before that we took a look at the small, typical Dutch model town, which was still an island until the mid-1950s, but is now easily accessible thanks to the dikes.

The route there is simply stunning – flat, with sweeping views over the water and the typical grazing sheep 🐑🐏 in the fields. Once we arrived in Marken, we took a short break to explore the historic town center with its pretty wooden …
