This island you can see in the middle of the lake was called the 'Startisland'. The first days you always went overthere and learned a lot of things there, how get from board without getting wet and making knots.
Quiet, a lot of birds although there are a lot of people, nice spot to get your boat thitened up and more practical unique qualiltlies.

Umfufu Says: We stayed in this place called a Jeudgherber in Dutch. This means a lot of beds (210) in a few bedrooms (45). With all young people, who have to make their own beds, have turns for cleaning and breakfast and diner is all together. Mean point is learning how to sail and...

Umfufu Says: My friend and i had a lovely time with all the boys. We were the only ones who stayed there for two weeks, and a hostel is a nice place for your first holiday without mum and dad. You have tasks that you have to full fill and you are sleeping with a lot of other people in a...

Umfufu Says: My friend Monique is enjoying her coffee aswell. We went to this place often. But also to an other spot, called Eatcorner The Roef. Its a snackbar and we loved the things they saled overthere .... Just across the street of the Hostel ! All the things that are bad for you ha...
Umfufu Says: Theehuis in Grouw This is me sitting in the sunshine with a little cup of coffee although the place where i am is called the Teahouse...The site is not active yet, but maybe in a little while you can see what a nice place this is.
Umfufu Says: There are three different floors where are three different interieurs and three kinds of music! You can dance in the danceclub, sit and relax in the pub and have fun in the partydisco. Just the way you like.
Just next door to the Pikmeer...
Umfufu Says: Just next door to the Pikmeer is this bar / disco. Its open in summertime from 2 pm with a terras. They have special party's (now) and in the sailing season its open 7 days a week! We had a great time in this bar / disco, and the great thing was: We could drink till we...
Umfufu Says: My friend and i went by train...its so nice to see the Netherlands coming by and you dont have to drive and can have a coffee or tea. Its also like you are starting your holiday the moment you are in the train, there is nothing you have to do, than make sure to get out at...

Umfufu Says: Well i would like to tell you here that this boat belongs to me or my dad. But i am so sorry i have to dissapoint you here. We just climb onboard for this picture.But its the best way for getting around. A lot of restaurants have the mainentrance on the watersite! On the...

Umfufu Says: The good thing is they have a little boat, that when you are almost lost on the other site of the lake they came and pick you up.The bad thing is you are so tired of this surfing that you cant go out in the evening...if you never ever have surfed before, its harder then you...
Umfufu Says: After a while you have the feeling of the sail and the thing under your feet. You THINK you can manage on the water. So they give you a nice wetsuite and let you weat this all day (the GIRL at the front of this picture is me) and you look like a sausage!
Cause we were there for two...
Umfufu Says: Cause we were there for two weeks we stayed the weekend. To make sure we would do anything strange (ha ha) we had to enter a windsurfingcourse. That was okey for us....well when we started! We could go one way with the windsurf but to come back was very hard. You start...

Umfufu Says: Me with Floris and Mark. They also were our mates in the boat and i had a really nice holiday, even though i didnt like the sailing a lot!!!
Umfufu Says: Take enough clothes with you that when you fall into the water you can change...and you need to change a lot. You need special shoes on board of most boats....like sneakers but then just a little different...we call them boatshoes, how funny! No need if you stay in a...

I never have learned how to manage the sailboat....i am hopeless. When there is to much wind i cant stand it and hate sailing, when there is to little wind i love it but all the other would love to kill me for that ha ha
The kind of boat you see on the picture, is the kind of boat we have to learn to sail with. I amused myself but i never would do it again...

Favorite thing: Grouw is a little village, near the Pikmeer and the Princes Margrietcanal. It is the meancity of the community of Boarnserhim. It used to be a special place for boatman, fisherman and murchandeisers. Grouw has a bout 5600 people who live there. Its famous for its
wateractivities and is also called the meancity of the Friese waterland.
Fondest memory: Where you come from is not really a point, cause there is always a good bus, train, watertaxi or car (of your own) going the right way. In the former times you couldnt come into Grouw so easy, cause it was most of the time floded.
There are a lot of nice shops, a lot of bars and its a place for young and old people all together.
