Dear travel diary,

Harry was pretty tired after two days of rolling me around in my wheelie. Also, the weather wasn’t really nice. So we decided to stay home, take naps and maybe play a nice game of “Mensch ärgere dich nicht”.

But the weather cleared up near the end of the day, so we did get out and hoped for another magic North Sea coastline sunset.

We headed for a spot where we observed a sunset last year. On our way, we met some sheep on the dyke. Unfortunately, much to Nici’s dismay, they tend to run away.

As it was still a bit cloudy, we didn’t really see the sun go down behind the island of Norderney.

Dear travel diary,

This vacation trip promises to turn out way, way, way much better than the mishap trip to the Baltic Sea about a fortnight ago.

The train attendants were all very kind and helpful, as they had been the previous times when we traveled to East Frisia, and my husband had a very positive conversation with two nice ladies.

There were also a few little children on the train curiously looking at me but they would not dare to ask anything.
