Bensersiel - North Sea, Germany (Easter 2002)

What's nicer than a short break away from home? If you have just fallen in love it's even nicer. The weather doesn't bother, the destination doesn't bother, the duration doesn't bother, the ... . So we decided to have a getaway during easter of 2002. Thus we took our sporty little italian job - (rule no. 1 in love: no difference between 'mine' and 'yours': bee's car is my car) - and headed for our domicile .. and nearly found it .. at first go. We only lost our way once .. but noticed soon, after a mile or two .. and short before our destination .. that doesn't count .. and finally landed in Bensersiel.

We lodged in a small pension nearby the spa garden. Yes, near the spa garden. The room was clean and cheap, and the bed .. uuh the room was quite nice...

 

We stayed for 4 days and enjoyed the spring-like weather: warm, but too windy for taking a bath in the North Sea. At least for bumble bees. Wolves are hardened. Nothing can keep a wolf from jumping into the tideland.

 

The Wadden Sea. What a sea. Looks like beach, with water on it. Not much water, though, only a hand. You could barely drown yourself. Then we biked a lot. One of the disadvantages of the sea coast: you always have headwind when biking no matter which direction you are going. This results in the advantage that you have to make many pauses - pauses filled with eating ice cream, drinking coffee, or just watching the environment and the small harbours.

 

What else can you do on the coast - besides eating fish and counting the grains of sand? Well .. you conquer the sea of course. A boat trip within the wadden sea:

 

 

As a sumnmary of this short trip we would say that we found not only recreation but the awareness that life together is wonderful for the both of us. This conclusion had to be drawn despite the fact that bumble bee had found a new friend during our stay at the North Sea. A handsome friend who never disagrees .. who never hangs around in pubs .. who does not waste money .. who is just a smart guy with broad shoulders to lean on: The I-R-O-N M-A-N: don't drinks alcohol, don't smokes, don't helps...
	splurges money on drinks		splurges no money on drinks

 

My bumble bee often picks up a tough guy during vacations as can be seen here or here or here or here or here ...
