September 12th, 2008: Vlieland

A few weekends ago I went camping on Vlieland, the next island past Texel, since it was nice and sunny. These pictures are in random order since Blogger seems to be assembling them in an order different from the order I'm uploading them in...

When you arrive on Vlieland from Texel, this vehicle takes you across 8km of sand on the southern end of the island, which is used as a military testing range in the non-tourist season.
Bridge from the ferry landing at Vlieland to the yellow truck that takes you across the sand.
The village of Oost-Vlieland.
Yes, the place is actually called "Place to MEAT you"!!!
Random goat statue.


View of Oost Vlieland from the top of a tall dune.


Harbor in Oost Vlieland.



The tires of the yellow truck have a poem written in them - so when the truck drives across the sand it leaves a poem (in Dutch of course). Below is another photo of the poem in the sand.

A hairy cow! Vlieland has them too! (But interestingly, I didn't see any sheep there...)
