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!

12.07.2021 – Amsterdam Discovery Tour

The day started with a sugar shocky breakfast! We then walked to a surf shop called „The Old Man Boardsports“ where I bought some sex wax (with cooling effect) for my skimboard. You wax your board to get a grip when stepping on it. After that we went hunting for some nice vintage and second-hand stores and found „Mood Indigo“ that had some nice denim jackets and all sorts of clothing! After that we went to the store on the other side of the street called „Time Machine“ and from there walked to „Episode“ located a few blocks away. Again another typical second-hand store so nothing too special. Same thing with the „Kiloshop Waterlooplein“. But all in all nice stores.

After a day walking through amsterdam we walked back home and ate dinner.
