We left Alkmaar and drove to tonight’s destination via the Afsluitdijk which is a major dam and causeway it was constructed between 1927 and 1932. It is 32 km long and has a width of 90 metres.
We are stopping at a Yachthaven which also has a campsite, it’s marina provides for permanent moorings, some under cover, passing boats, facilities to fill with diesel/ water etc it seems quite popular.
We walked into Sneek and had a walk around its streets, it was interesting to see how many of its shops we also have on our high streets, including Specsavers and Halfords.
Sneek hosts the annual Sneekweek the largest sailing event on inland European waterways. I expect it is spectacular but probably impossible to get accommodation locally.
We felt somewhat shattered when we got back to Homer having walked another 3 miles a total of 7.5 miles for the day.
