gervis: On our way to Eemshaven for a one day trip with son to the German island of Borkum
©
gervis: Skyline of the Eemshaven windmillparc in northern Groningen
©
gervis: A land of windmills
©
gervis: Look at the skies
©
gervis: Mainly German license plates at the ferry parking of Eemshaven NL
©
gervis: Ferry boat Helgoland
©
gervis: The place is decorated with stuff found, "jutted" on the beach
©
gervis: Mmmm Kaffee mit Torte und Zahne. Das schmeckt
©
gervis: Broad beach near coffeeplace 'Dijnenbudje'
©
gervis: Near this spot was a monument honouring some general of World War I (1914-1918)
©
gervis: The Pirate flag
©
gervis: The coffee place had something to do with pirates
©
gervis: Little difference with the polder landscape on the Wadsite of Terschelling. Looked like Borkum has its own 'Dwarsdijk'
©
gervis: Nice outlook outside on Borkum "Stadt"
©
gervis: With a rented bike (6,5 euro) you can do Borkum in one day and see it all. 7.30 boat up + 18.00 back stands for a great day
©
gervis: More of the tower in its environment
©
gervis: This church tower is definitely no match for the Terschellinger Brandaris
©
gervis: Compared to the Brandaris on Terschelling this is not a winner. It is a historic German landmark though
©
gervis: May month blossom month also on Borkum
©
gervis: Handed the bikes in near the station and returned to the ferry at the end of a great day
©
gervis: Rather typical German building style much different than on the dutch isles
©
gervis: Really liked the Borkum boulevard
©
gervis: Appealing of Borkum is that "Borkum Stadt" it is situated near the coastline. You walk like Scheveningen to the beach
©
gervis: Renting such a two seat beach chair must be very romantic and out of the wind
©
gervis: Lots of old folks enjoy the sun and sea air all along this sea aquarium
©
gervis: Bij mooi weer echt wel een lekker eiland. Maar hoe druk is het zomers wel niet op Borkum? Nu relaxed
©
gervis: The temperature was not quite as it looks
©
gervis: Die Wolken das Strand und der weite Mer ......
©
gervis: Typical outlook for a German island with its private clinics for aging 'Kur Gaste' in need of 'pneumatic' and 'pediatric' care
©
gervis: But this is also Borkum with its musicians on a very attractive boulevard
