July 15, 2022,Medemblik 🇳🇱 - "Unter Strom ⚡️" oder Abschied vom Ijsselmeer 🚴🍀

We really didn't have time to rush today...

...so our last tour was a very leisurely one 😊.
We were "under steam" at the Steam Machine Museum, an anchor point on the European Industrial Heritage Route (similar to our brickworks 👍), visited Medemblik 🛍👛 for a second time, and said goodbye to the IJsselmeer 💦💙 with a heavy heart.

In Enkhuizen there is a zoo right on the way, which invites you to visit it free of charge. Coffee and cake are also excellent here and 100% of the proceeds are used for the animals. All helpers work for …

We actually wanted to take a break in our favorite teahouse "de libel" again. But it was so full that we couldn't get a seat.
So we continued on to Enkhuizen. There we took a break at the old harbor.
Then we had to go back because Woddy was alone in the strange holiday home. 🐕🏠
