The tent on the far right is the one belonging to me.
As you can see, I have drying washing stuff on the tent.
As for how to fix the laundry to the tent, I am using a safety pin.
Safety pins and Calvina are convenient, so I have plenty.
I only have a minimum of clothing change, so I do the laundry everyday.

First of all, washing every day is a set of 3 socks, short-sleeved shirts with collars, pants. I will do the washing in the following order. Long trousers, short one, socks, shirts are in that order.I bought new soap with ALDI on the way because I ran out of soap brought from Japan.

I was about to fold the tent and go out from here.
However, the weather today was cloudy and I seemed not to be hot in the tent, and Because I seemed comfortable even though I was inside the tent today.so , decided to stay one more day.and I decided to go shopping to town.

When entering a little inland from the coast, that is exactly the desert world.
1320
It is the desert world as much as we can see.
As far as I see this desert, I think that the Netherlands is wide, but on the map, this desert is not that wide.

I get over the hill and go out to the sea.
Direction far east.
Nothing can be seen. As far as the eye can see, the sea.

Opposite direction, far west
I can not see England.

As for the trash box. Germany was in a similar situation. It is a country with lots of trash can.
There is no toilet. I can not find it. almost none. There is no water supply facilities at all.

In Europe, there are many estuaries of trumpet-shaped estuaries that wider as the river becomes closer to the ocean. The Thames river in the UK, the Gironde river in France, the Seine river and so on.

However, in the rivers flowing out to the North Sea, the Rhine is an exceptionally river that forms a Delta.

Because the Rhine flows from the Alpine mountain range of the new eruption orogenic belt, many sediments are carried, accumulated near the mouth of the estuary, a shallow coastline is formed, and the earth and sand is pushed back by the ocean current, and the land increases steadily .


Half of Dutch land is less than 1 meter above sea level. Furthermore, since the country was expanded by reclamation, 1/4 of the country is lower than the sea. This reclaimed land is called Polder.

I will try cycling through the dunes.

In the morning, I thought that "I felt comfortable even though I was inside the tent today", I extended my stay one more day, but now it got so hot.
further,It is hot because there are no shade of trees on the tent site. I did not feel like taking a rest in the tent during this hot weather, and I went back to the town again.
