Tomorrow is our last day. So today we took a longer walk through the village today. If you like, come with me

We found a nice house

and some places to stay and enjoy the peace of the moment (under the cut)

( Peaceful places )

That was it for today. I don't know what we'll do tomorrow, but if I take some photos you'll see what I did. *g*

On Monday we went to visit another of the old churches. This one was from 1530 and had a priest since then.



The pulpit



and the organ

That was the Monday. And today we went on a boat trip, with the Jens Albers. You can look under the cut if you like and you will see what we saw.

( Tuesday )

But I have a picture of two funny jackdaws



I hope you had fun to come with me to this places and you enjoyed the photos. If it is to much please let me know and I'll stopp.

Today we went to a domestic animal park where there were sheep,



little goats



pigs



and wool pigs (Edit: just learned tha they are called woolly pigs)



and peacocks (he didn't like it that I took a photo)



And nice doves.

Okay, it's raining again, so have some more castle photos. :-)

And a nice cafe with very tasty cake and funny chandeliers





Oh, and the outside was nice too

The weather isn't nice the last days, so we went and visited some old churches. The churches around Hooksiel are very old, the oldes is from the 9. century. It is the church of a village called Hohenkichen (Highchurch)

After that we went to the church in Waddewarden, St. Johannes. It's a church from 1264

The last church we visited in the last three days is in Pakens, a very small village with only three houses, but with a very large church which was build somewhere between 1250 and 1300.







That was my church post. Yesterday we went to Jever and visited the castle museum. But that will be another post, because I made so many photos, that would be to much for this post.

Wednesday we made a boad trip called Jadetörn. It goes to the Jade-Weser-Prot which was build for 2.700.000 container ships in the year. But they only had 6.700 in 2018 and it doesn't look like they could reach the planned number.



I think the cranes look like giraffes.

On Thursday we went to Wilhelmshaven. It's twentyfive minutes with the bus and for guests it's only 1 Euro to pay. So we took the bus.

This is the King-Wilhelm-Bridge near the marine museum.

So, that was Wednesday and Thursday.

Last week I went to a small village named Neuharlingersiel. It is really small, but it has a stille active fishing port. There are shrimp boats that go out every day early in the morning. This is my favorite one.

The week was truly wonderfull, even though it was cold and very, very windy. But it was dry and some times there was sun.
