Today a group of us from class - Sarah, Tim, Hallie, and myself - decided to go on an excursion to the small island of Texel of the coast of the mainland of Holland. We took the train to Den Helder and then a bus to a ferry, and then the ferry to the island of Texel itself. We found the ferry to be the most amazing part of the journey there... seeing as it was much larger than anyone in the group thought it would be.
On the island we all rented bicycles and rode from the port all the way to the largest city on the island named Den Burg. We all enjoy a fabulous meal at a local and cost effective Italian restaurant.
After the meal we rode around on the paths in the countryside for a while and eventually we headed back using the same means of transportation, the train, that we used to arrive. Overall I would highly recommend going to Texel, Even though we went on Sunday and everything was closed we still managed to entertain ourselves, and that says a lot. Texel is a fun place to spend some time and relax from the hustle of the city of Amsterdam.
