Insel-hopping in Nordfriesland // Day 3 // The Ellenbogen doesn't end

DO YOU HAVE TO DO THE ELLENBOGEN - OR NOT? Fresh and cheerful (already on day 3 at the sea and on the island, I am, as expected, deeply relaxed), I set off from the hotel towards the Ellenbogen. It's not that far, I thought. But it is. After I had shortened part of the route thanks to the bus, I had arrived directly at the beginning of this northernmost tip of Sylt. That thing way back there on the right is the final and truly real island ending - the courage had already left me before I even started walking: There are many sheep on the Ellenbogen [/uploads/8325aa80-855c-11e9-8127-fd2d69d8ff6f.JPEG_large.jpg]There are many sheep on the Ellenbogen Really many sheep [/uploads/8a7b4290-855c-11e9-ae79-dff78aa7e9b1.JPEG_large.jpg]Really many sheep And somehow you have the feeling that you are walking. And walking. Keep walking. Always further. And never get there: And there is a looooot of vastness. And sand.

I stopped and went back to the bus. Without having reached the end. But I didn't care, it was definitely too monotonous for me ;-). Even sheep stand at the bus stop [/uploads/a9223eb0-855c-11e9-8127-fd2d69d8ff6f.JPEG_large.jpg]Even sheep stand at the bus stop They are not bothered by anything [/uploads/a53bdcc0-855c-11e9-8127-fd2d69d8ff6f.JPEG_large.jpg]They are not bothered by anything BACK AMONG PEOPLE: KAMPEN Instead, I decided to drive back from the northernmost point towards the south. To Kampen, which I more or less left out in the rain yesterday. Also today: No celebrities. Already a few champagne sippers and Louis Vuitton shopping bag carriers everywhere. But overall much less chic than I expected. Anyway, the island is totally relaxed, there are almost more dogs (birds and sheep anyway) than people and you can walk around anywhere in jeans and sneakers without being looked at strangely. No, I have to say, I underestimated Sylt. It is really beautiful here! I like it!
