After a reasonably good sleep we were up and ready for our next day. After a solid breakfast of bread with various toppings - cheese and tomatoes, chocolate sprinkles, and speculaas bikkies dunked in coffee. Joss and Marianne took us to Hildebrand Straat where the coal shop was that Opa lived when he was a boy.

| Here you can hire a chair for the beach for the day for 5 euros |

| Someone was using this old submarine as alternative camping accomodation |
 |
| The beach is twice as wide as last year because they brought more sand |
 |
| a shop where they sell traditonal Dutch herrings - raw |

For lunch we met up with their daughter Bernadette at a real dutch seafood restaurant and feasted upon fish and chips (enormous serves of delicate Plaice in a perfectly light batter with chips and many different sauces) which we washed down with French white wine. We both tried the local delicacy of herring which was not too awful but would have been helped down with a bit of toast with lemon and pepper perhaps. Many thanks go to Joss for the pictures. After a short drive around past the Queens house to the shopping area we went for a wander around the shops.
