Beautiful route, but still much too wet in the dunes, so we had to turn back.

It is always impressive how wide a sea and its beach can be. In a way it sets me free, at least

We had a wonderful walk on the beach even though everyone thought we'd be freezing. The wind stayed relatively calm behind the dunes, and even the sun came out to help; it was a real treat!
We had lunch at beach pavilion Noord in Bergen aan Zee, highly recommended!
