Second Christmas Day

On the Second Christmas day we took our bikes again to make a tour to the South of the island and try to find some more caches located over there.
We figured out a tour of about 30 Km that would bring us back to the camping site again and where we could stop regularly, with the longest part of 4.5 km.
The first cache (GC11KK6 - Caching Texel 09 - Jac. P. Thijsse) we found after about a 3 KM ride.

We logged it at 13:20 as our #70.

The second we discovered after again a short ride (4 Km) (GC11KKA - Caching Texel 11 - Uitkijkpunt), which gave a spectacular view on the dunes.

We logged this one at 14:00.

We stopped for a coffee and while we were enjoying this, a couple of horses passed by.


Next for the third stop of the day (GC11G6X - Caching Texel 5 - schotse hooglanders) brought us to our favorite cows, Scottish Highlanders, who are walking around in an astonishing surrounding.

We logged it at 14:55.

The fourth of the day (GC11G6P - Caching Texel 4 - prot. kerk Den Hoorn) a cache hidden near a lovely church.

We logged this one at 15:45.

And the fifth and last of the day (GC1BH0R - Caching Texel 24 - Grondwatermeter) was discovered at the beginning of a forest.

We logged that one at 16:45. This makes our total caches found 74.

That made our total bicycle trip almost 30 KM and the dogs walked all the way besides the bike. It was very cold but lovely sunny weather. We are now enjoying the warmth of the motor home.
