We left Domburg today to head back to Hattingen. The rain had moved in overnight, which called things down significantly, but it was also raining just hard enough that having our window open as much as we did left a damp patch on the carpet of our room. Oh well!
After finishing breakfast, we packed our things and walked around the corner to meet Alina and Alicia at the car. We were making a short trek to a nearby town called Veere before heading back to Germany. Veere is a small harbor town; it was quite cozy :) In Veere, we walked around the shops, of which there were a handful of specialty stores, including a shop with homemade sweets, as well as one that sold products made from sheep’s wool. Many of the stores had beautiful wares, but they were either quite pricy or far too fragile to consider. I did find a couple photo coasters that had some nice photos and said ‘Holland’ on them. The teenage boy checking us out also seemed like he was learning the job as the older woman next to him walked him through the transaction (he did a good job!). Before getting all the way back to the car, we stopped in a cafe called Sister Anna, named after a nun from a few hundred years ago. We all had something to drink; it was my first flavored coffee in Europe (‘twas hazelnut and it was grand!), and we got some food. Brandon had a pulled chicken BBQ sandwich with coleslaw, I got tomato soup that had far more veggies in it than I expected, but was also very delicious, and Alina and Alicia shared a slice of apple cake. The bathrooms at the cafe were downstairs in an area that reminded me of an old wine cellar or cave (I know those are VERY different things, but that’s what I got lol). The trip back involved lots of napping. It tends to happen when I’m a passenger in the car… We arrived back in Hattingen in the late afternoon and then spent the rest of the day chilling. Brandon and I played some cards (he beat me handily at rummy), ate a small dinner, and then we watched Holes. Boy, did I forget how much I enjoyed that movie! Not sure what tomorrow may bring, but I’m sure it will be something! Until then, friends!
