A really fun month ended on a high, with three days of kid-free friend time. It started back in Schoorl, where we ended our glamping trip, on the Friday of Memorial day weekend. This time, I was determined to do the hike through the dunes to a remote beach cafe, Paal 29. Ann had originally recommended the outing, having done it with her family, and was game to go with Christie and me to help show us the way. We still could have benefited from a map! Thankfully between our poor map photos, a friendly passerby, and the trail signage, we made it to the beach after hiking for 2 hours. I loved the trail, passing through pine forest, through heather fields, and finally sand dunes to get to the cafe. We learned that wildrooster does not mean what we thought (warning sign for cattle grates) and had a lot of laughs as we navigated our way through the extensive nature reserve. We were rewarded with a lovely lunch on the terrace in the sun! We found the direct way back to the car (a little over an hour), which happily passed an ice cream shop before returning home. The ladies dropped me and my luggage off at Zuid station where I met Alya for part 2 of a wonderful weekend!
