Monnickendam

After we had tied up last night, we got some interesting pictures which we would like to share. One is one of Lyn's famous sunsets, the other one of a very patient (and tame!) fisherman:









This morning again, the weather was up to no good, with rain and wind and also cold enough to switch on the heater.





We walked into Hoorn to do shopping for the last few meals before we go back to London on Wednesday. We also treated ourselves to 'koffie en appelgebak', which is a typical - and decadent - Dutch way of spoiling yourself:





Fortunately, it cleared a bit and we left Hoorn.





And set sail to Monnickendam, where the boat will stay during our approximately 3 weeks in London to go to the naturalisation ceremony and obtain Lyn's Dutch passport. The trip to Monnickendam was fine, the weather cleared nicely when we approached so we could fill up the tank with 268 l (!) of diesel, that's what we used these 3 weeks, just under 4 l / hour of motoring.

Tomorrow, I will take the bus to Amsterdam to get some more charts for our summer trip. We have not got the lakes North of Berlin yet. On Wednesday, we return to London.
