離開了乳酪市場，我們直奔北海的攔海大堤Afsluitdijk，這是荷蘭史上最巨大的水利工程。在那午休後，我們繼續往荷蘭的威尼斯－羊角村，最後回到恩荷芬過夜。
After Alkmaar Cheese Market, we went to the Afsluitdijk, a fundamental part of the Dutch Zuiderzee Works. Then, we went to Giethoorn, Venice of the Netherlands.

在酒店休息了會，我們到臨近的威廉港Wilhelmshaven走走。威廉港是德國天然水深最深的港口和德國最大的石油轉運港。我們在它的市中心逛了一會，都沒遇到合心意的餐廳，所以又掉頭回酒店的餐廳用晚餐。用完餐，已近日落時分，於是決定去了Harlesiel查查次日往Wangerooge Island的渡輪時間表。至於日落，因雲霧過重，就沒什麽美景可言了。
After check-in at Ringhotel Residenz Wittmund and had a short rest, then we decided to visit Wilhelmshaven, the only deep water port, the largest naval base and the most important import terminal for crude oil of Germany. As we couldn’t find any desirable restaurant at Wilhelmshaven, we turned back to our hotel to have our dinner. After that, we went to Harlesiel to check the ferry schedule for the next day, and it’s pity that we couldn’t catch any beautiful views of the sunset, due to cloudy and heavy mist.

Emden是Ostfriesland（德語），或East Frisia/Eastern Friesland（英語）的城市和要港，位於Ems河的出口，面向荷蘭的Groningen省。這是第一站，除了在市中心走了一圈，我們還去坐船參觀這裡的港口。
Emden is the main city and habour of Ostfriesland (DE), or East Frisia/Eastern Friesland (EN) of Germany. Beside having a walk in the city centre, we also joined a boat tour to visit the habour.

趁著聖靈降臨日有連假，我們決定到德國的Ostfriesland來個兩天一夜的小旅行。
During the Pentecost holiday (Pinksteren in Dutch), we went to Ostfriesland at Germany to have a 2D1N trip. Continue reading
從仙人掌綠洲回恩荷芬途中，我們在Ravenstein（官網）休息一會。這小鎮曾經是座馬斯河沿岸的堡壘之一，鎮裡還有不少堡壘的遺跡。婆婆很喜歡這小鎮，我們作媳婦的當然是沒意見，就去鎮裡逛一圈吧。
From Cactus Oase back to Eindhoven, we took a break on the way at Ravenstein, a small town that used to be one of the forts along the Maas River. Continue reading
去了聖彼得山的堡壘和地下洞窟，我們就到馬斯垂克的市中心祭五臟廟，順便在市區逛逛。After visiting the fort and underground caves at Mount St. Pieter, we went to Maastricht city centre.

聖彼得山裡全是石灰岩，從羅馬時代起，人們就從這裡挖掘石灰岩塊來建造馬斯垂克城裡的教堂、建築物和城牆等。它的石灰質純淨，也可作淨化水之用。由於長期挖掘岩塊，地下就形成了許多洞窟及通道。曾經這裡近兩萬條通道，後來有一大半因為水泥業的發展而被毀了。二戰時，曾是秘密的藏身之地。
Mount St. Pieter is a hill plateau with limestone massif. Since Roman times, people started to use the limestone blocks of Mount St. Pieter for the constructions in Maastricht, such as churches, buildings, walls etc. Therefore, there are many caves and underground corridors in this area. Here used to have almost 20.000 corridors but half of them were destroyed due to the developement of the cement industry. During the 2nd War World, this underground area used to be a secret hiding place.
