Hoorn
Not a lot to say today. I spent the morning shopping - again :) - while skip did chores. We went for a cycle around town in the afternoon, checking out the suburbs. The town centre is very attractive, with lovely old buildings and gables. The suburbs are very ordinary.

It was a such a nice warm evening, we wandered across to the Red Rose Café and had a drink sitting on their harbourside patio. A small La Chouffre for me, and a Jopen (the beer from Harlem) for Clive. We strolled around the harbour looking at all the old sailing barges before heading back to the boat for a braai. There are lots of traditional old boats here. The sailing barges seem to be used as sail-training boats and at least 8 of them were full of German teens over for the holidays on what one presumes are school trips.

I am happy to report that the new Weber grilled the ribs just as well as the old one.
