21.06.23 – Discovering Fort-Mahon-Plage

After getting up and eating some breakfast we packed our stuff to go to the beach. After a 10 minute walk we found a nice spot and after a bit of laying around we went for a little swim. The water was very refreshing, relatively cold but not too cold. Very nice to go swimming in the ocean again. After more laying around and almost falling asleep in the sand we decided to walk back to the camper again to leave our stuff there and walk back to the main road. We walked up the road, away from the beach, and towards a small bakery where we got some delicious pastries and bread. The baguette actually was so delicious that only one half of it survived the way back to the camperAfter our little snack we hung around in the shadow of the car to hide from the heat a bit and then started looking for a place to eat. Again finding something vegan or at least vegetarian was a real challenge, but luckily there was a burger place that actually had a vegan pattie option! The burgers were delicious and the amount of fries was huge. Later that evening we went for another walk into the nature reserve right behind the camping place. It was very calm and I took the drone for a little fly to take some videos and pictures. As we got back to the camper, we watched „In Bruges“, a tragic-comedy movie set in Bruges to get everyone ready for our visit there in two days.

19.07.2021 – Skimboarding Session at the Beach

The day started with a breakfast in the sun and the nice seaside view! After that we went to the beach to go swimming and try skimboarding. Skimboarding is basically a variation of surfing but, depending on which board you’re using, happens in more shallow water and not as far out in the sea as with normal surfboards. We used my old wooden skimboard which is used on very shallow water and puddles without waves and also happens to be quite difficult to learn on for beginners. When we went to the beach it was low tide so, besides the strong wind, pretty good conditions for skimboarding. It took us a lot of tries but it was fun!
After a short swim we went back to the camper and started our showering mission. As we weren’t paying for a pitch at the sailing club, we officially weren’t allowed to use the showers. We did it anyways. And after 5 days of not really showering, the warm water felt like heaven!
We then left Haverdal and drove to our next stay: Gothenburg. We booked 2 nights at Askimsstrand camping and after arriving there we cooked vegan hamburgers for tonight’s dinner and they turned out pretty delicious!

18.07.2021 – By the Seaside

As we are on our mission to reach Gothenburg, we drove further up north along the coast. For our next stay we found a nice little spot right next to the ocean and only a few hundred meters away from a small sailing club (that we weren’t allowed to stay there only occurred to us the next morning). First wanted to stay directly next to the sailing club on dedicated pitches so we could use the showers and bathrooms, but unfortunately were all occupied. Because of that we drove to the parking lot a few meters up the street.
After we parked and enjoyed the view for the short while, we began to search for a nearby geocache. We found it relatively quickly in the bushes behind the sailing club and after that walked further up a small path that led us to a labyrinth. We all expected to find a mansized one out of hedges or so, but it actually was just a small pattern of a labyrinth made out of small stones on the ground. It still looked interesting though. After a small climbing session on the nearby rocks we went back to the camper. For dinner wie cooked Spaghetti again but this time made our own sauce with fresh vegetables. After watching a beautiful sunset we went to bed and listened to „Die Drei ???“ before sleeping.

The small labyrinth!
