We decided to take the train to Zandvoort today.....to the beach....The sun is out!! Yippppeeee! So, first we got on the bus at Tempeliersstraat:
We got to Haarlem Station and upgraded out OV Chipcards so that we can now use them for the trains also! It cost 2.10 Euro one way to go to Zandvoort.
Here's our train!
We got off at the Zandvoort Station:
and started walking towards the beach (Strand):
During the summer there are at least 20 restaurants along the beach. This time of year there are only a few permanent buildings there. This is one of the platforms for a restaurant that will be back in the spring:
We found a couple of sand sculptures:
We kept walking along the beach and saw a surf contest taking place:
The hot tubs:
The Judges:
and the surfers:
Not many waves for them to catch......
We walked along the beach and stopped for a bite to eat and a beer:
While we sat there we watched all the families there playing on the beach...what a beautiful day! The high temperature was 50 degrees...with the sun shining it made it feel so warm!
All in all...a great day!
Tonight our landlords are coming over to pick up their mail. We have a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge so we can ring in the New Year together with them!

There were four of us at the restaurant for coffee this morning. We met at 1000hrs. Afterwards, three of us walked along the beach...and I went off to catch the train back to Haarlem!
