Today friends of ours drove all the way from The Hague to visit us. It was wonderful to see them again. It had stopped raining for a change, so we sat down in the cockpit, enjoying the delicious pastries they brought with them and exchanged stories.
Together we went to the Zuiderzee museum. By now it is the third time we’ve visited the museum in 1 month time. As if we can’t get enough of it. Besides, they have very tasty French fries there, which was actually the reason for visiting the museum this time.
One of the cool things about the Zuiderzee museum is that they smoke fish at the premisses to demonstrate the craft of preserving fish, and you can buy that fish later on. They have smoked salmon, haddock and mackerel, and it is really good, fresh from the smoker, even better than the fish from the fishmonger. We couldn’t resist and bought a smoked mackerel to eat for dinner later on.
After a great day together we waved our friends goodbye who went home late that afternoon. We returned to our boat and enjoyed our smoked mackerel while listening to travel stories.
