We had only one day at home to do our laundry and catch Julias mother from Hanover airport. Today we left again for another, totally different island: Wangerooge. Wangerooge is one of the seven islands situated just a few kilometres from the mainland of northwest germany. It is a nature reservate where cars are prohibited and nature takes priority over human living.
So it was the total opposite of Mallorca Island. We live only 110 kilometres far from Wangerooge but the trip to the island was the same long as it was to Mallorca. By car, ship, train it took us 4,5 hours to get to our flat!
The first think I did was to rent a bicycle and to discover the west of the island. The island is only about 6 km wide and so it is easy to drive from east to westcoast in less than 30 minutes ... if the wind is not too strong.
I even did some geocaching today. There was a simple traditional cache on the westcoast of Wangerooge. It was hidden already in 2003 and is still there. I like those nearly historical caches and decided to go for this one first.
The second one was a simple multi-mystery-cache that provided me with some interesting informations about the „moving“ of the island during the centuries.
I easily found out what the final location was, but 222 steps were too much for my damaged achilles tendon...so I left it.
