The island of Ameland is tidy and friendly. To make the most of my time here I rented an e-bike which took me from one end of the island to the other. In the west there are friendly villages, sand dunes and wide beaches. The eastern end of Ameland is beautiful in its own way; rougher and less accessible.

At cafe Nobel old and new are combined. I prefer the more mature part of the place, with its fireplace, old photographs and comfortable chairs.
