Here are a bunch of images from the tiny town of Den Hoorn on Texel. I rented a bike from a shop in this town (which is a bit out of the way from my normal route between Tubantia and NIOZ) a week ago and had to return the bike. I tried yesterday but the shop was closed but I was able to return the bike this morning. I basically ended up having to do a lot of walking/biking/busing between various spots on the island to return the rental bike to Den Hoorn and to end up with my bike at work, but it all worked out in the end. Anyway, I took a few pictures of Den Hoorn when I was there...
Some fields on the outside on town. I'm not sure what is being grown here.
This church can be seen from quite a far distance away as it is relatively tall and it is so flat here.
I'm not sure if I've ever seen a church surrounded by sheep before...
A picture from a narrow street in Den Hoorn. This is pretty much what the towns on Texel look like. I will try to get some pictures of Den Burg (the "big" town on Texel) soon - I don't want to look like a tourist taking pictures in the middle of town when other people are around though. Maybe I'll stop by in the early morning when not so many people are around...
I think that most of these buildings are houses but there are some restaurants and shops mixed in.
Most (perhaps all?) of the streets in the towns are made up of these bricks - my arms are actually are a little bit sore from biking over this stuff since it's really bumpy. Pictures of Dutch bikes will be coming soon!
