Aletta is the perfect host. She kindly picked us up from central station because on a Sunday there are no buses! She is a very warm and welcoming and her accommodation has a rustic charm and back to nature feel. The fridge was well stocked with breakfast items and beer and there was even a bottle of wine. The mini house is full of windows and cosy with a gas burner. outside you can see a myriad of water birds and the city in the far distance. We found the local bar welcoming and great food at landmarket, a short cycle away. Aletta 's next door neighbour runs a tiny dairy in a traditional nord Holland way. It is part of his house, and all the hay, he keeps in the loft! An amazing chance meeting, but he was happy to receive visitors.
