Today Marc took us out to Marken, an old dutch fishing village.

Theres a shop there that sells clogs. You will never see so many clogs in your life .... if clogs are your thing it would be like clog heaven! It really was clogtastic!

In the afternoon, we rented some bicycles and rode out to the lighthouse. Andrew and Jessica being the stupid tourists let ourselves in through the gate to get a closer look and were promptly shooed out by the owners. It turns out someone was actually living in there!

Clog mania

We really enjoyed the riding around on the bike, although Jessica found it a bit tough as she had trouble braking and turning corners on her bike .... it was in her words a "brutal" ride!

Clogtastic??!!! Sounds like your having fun. We miss you. Everytime I'm in Dunno's I think oh I should ring Andy for a coffee and then I remember your not there any more! Nice pics too.

Hi quite cool seeing Jessica and You (Andrew) in the Netherlands. Pity you are not staying any longer as I will be there possibly in one-and-a-half week or whatever. Enjoy every second, soak in the culture and be shocked the differences. Go well with Shell. Royal Shell being Anglo-Dutch (the two kingdoms you will be). Regards, Frank
