- Enjoying the last morning on Schiermonnikoog
- Packing things, contacting a few more Wwoof hosts -> So far only rejections due to Corona and/or other Wwoofers already on site, but at least receiving some feedback!
- Taking the ferry back to the mainland at noon, exploring the Lauwersmeer region
- Being relatively planless again, but dealing with it much more relaxed this time and listening to my gut feeling ;)
- Continuing along the coast to Pieterburen: First on beautiful, unusually narrow cycle paths through a military area, then straight on a wide asphalt road along the dike - of course against the wind...
- Relatively sparsely populated area, only very small villages and a lot of agriculture
- Original plan for a place to sleep: Asking farmers if I can camp on their property, but then arriving exhausted in Pieterburen and simply staying at the first small campsite
- Unfortunately, the large seal rescue station in the village is closed due to Corona... Mudflat hikes are only offered on a few dates...
- Decision to continue cycling to Groningen directly the next day
