Weekend in the North 2014

This May we spent another week at our friends close to Norddeich. This time we had not a lot of wind and it was just perfect. We arrived in the evening on Friday.

On Saturday we thought of visiting the island Langeoog. And we were not the only ones. ;) The ferry to the island was very full and we didn't get a seat. Langeoog is a small island in the Wadden Sea. On the island there are no cars allowed (only used by a doctor and fire brigade). When we arrived to the island, there was a little train which took us to the little town. From there it wasn't very far to get to the beach. It was so lovely and relaxing to sit in the sand and enjoying weather. The water wasn't very cold (sadly we only could go into the water with the feet as we had no bathing suits with us).
We also tried to look for two caches on the island, but we only found one. ;)

Some of our time on Langeoog we spent in the little town, eating icecream and drinking a beer. ;) It was such a perfect day.








The other day our friends first took us to the windmills of Greetsiel. As they also started geocaching we also looked for some caches there. We ate some delicious fish sandwiches and I was able to make a photo of the windmills. Sadly one of them got destroyed last year during a heavy storm.

After those windmills we visited the lighthouse in Pilsum. It is famous since it was the home of a comedian (Otto) in a movie in the 80ies. There was also a mystery cache. Part of the cache was to make a photo in front of the lighthouse with something typical for Otto or a pic of the Ottifanten. This is our result. The cache was 700 m far from it and we had to walk through a lot of sheeps. ;)

After this little geocaching tour we drove back home. It was such a lovely weekend. :)
