Lauwers lake, lauwers meer .lauwer oog, esonstad

Yesterday in the morning we woke up and made plan to see Wijbren’s grand parents who are staying in the nursery house. Obviously they couldn’t speak English and it was kind of weird stay there ,but I liked it and shortly we pass by another part of the village and visited his aunt as well.

As far as I can say they all liked me and enjoyed being there too.






Then we drove towards the Esonstad which is a very old city in medieval time and that time by flood washed away and they rebuilt it.

The city was too small and basically no one lives there and if you want to stay there you need to pay a couple of hundreds Euro to stay .The structure is quite nice and lovely ,all houses one or maximum two

storey and chimneys on the top and some duplexes.
In most narrow brick made streets you could see flea market every where ,selling stuffs and buying some second hands things as well.

After that we went towards Lauwer lake, which is one of the North see lake that one side is with seet water and another side is salty water This province is famous for wind and the lake on the North further was so windy and in fact a lot of sign the border between Groningen and Friesland along the Waddenzee shore lies the Lauwersmeer. The nature reserve accommodates unique plant species and has been a National Park since 2003.




Round the water of the lake the Lauwersmeer with its bicycle and aquatic sports facilities has everything to offer to people looking for recreation.People were there for Wind surfing and sailing, which gave the nice view to the lake.






We had nice fish and chips there for a couple of Euro and then we moved towards Lauder meer, which was nice lake that you could get ferries go to the Islands on the North. which are few Islands good for swimming and beaches are nice in fact.


We are planning to go there in one day tour as the Hotels there are really expensive for nights to stay.
Today is Sunday and Family together and parents went to the church and we stayed home and relaxed a bit and I have got a terrible cold with this Dutch weather, as I didn’t bring warm clothes…


I am hoping get better for tomorrow as we go to another city by train for Wijbren’s documents and shopping.
