Swimming Pool (at Boutique Hotel Texel in Texel, Netherlands)

In the afternoon, we went again for a swim at the hotel pool.

Next to the pool, rocking chairs to relax.

 

 
If we enjoyed our swimming? I did, but...

...Roger?

 

Nop, no swimming for him 😉

Restaurant Session (in Texel, Netherlands): Lokaal 16

For lunch, we went to Lokaal 16. A little cozy café with local produce.

 

I had a mozzarella toast with pesto, tomato, rocket salad and pine seeds. The ingredients were good, but the sandwich was a bit dry.

[Tosti mozzarella met pesto, tomaat, rucola, en pijnboompitjes]

 

To drink, Rose Lemonade from Fentiman's.

Visiting Texel: The Lighthouse

Our second stop in the morning was to visit the Lighthouse in Texel. Going up 118 stairs in a very narrow staircase for...

...a very nice view.

Good exercise 😊

 

The control tower. 

 

Time to go down.

 

I like the bathroom window 😊

 

The lighthouse requires a VERY big light bulb 😀

Visiting Texel: Oudeschild

In the morning, we went for a walk at the little (and charming) village of Oudeschild.

 

Walking to...

 

...the sea.

 

 

Going to the promenade...

 

...to watch the boats.

 

Such a beautiful...
 

...sunny day.

 

Blue sky, blue sea.

 

Going on the pier.

 

Afterwards, we went for a little walk...

 

...to explore the village.

 

The houses are very cute 😊

 

Little details.

Sunset Time (in Texel)!

After dinner, we drove to the beach to watch the sunset. 21h, and the sun is still quite high!

Pretty lighthouse! 

 

Roger, time for a selfie! The sun is nice, we are too dark. Let's try again.

 

Cheers😀

 

Yes, we do have fun with our selfies😀

 

So beautiful!

 

We decided to walk to the lighthouse.

 

Roger saying hi and showing off his stitched hand.

 

Almost there.

 

Cheese again!

 

Just a bit windy but...

 

...it is so beautiful! 

 

In between the bushes, we saw some partridges.

 

Going down again...

 

...to the beach.

 

  

We couldn't have asked for a more romantic scenery. Happy (Brazilian) Valentines, Roger!💗

 

Is it a bird? Is it a superman? Nop, only a plane. 

 

Time to go back to our hotel. Bye-bye, beautiful sunset!

 

Almost arriving to our hotel, the sky is still on fire!

Restaurant Session (in Texel, Netherlands): Restaurant Gusta

As it was a warm Summer evening, we started with an aperitif. Non-alcoholic cocktail for Roger and...

 

...gin tonic for me. Cheers! 

 

As starter, I had the shrimp cocktail with Granny Smith apple, lime, beetroot breadcrisp and slightly warmed cocktail sauce.

 

With the main dish, Roger had a Texels beer. He liked it.

 

As main dish, tournedos Rossini from Texel Piemontese cattle with foie gras, truffle and Madeira gravy. Very nice!
