At Landgoed De Bonte Belevenis you can see (some do it yourself) how things are produced. There is a:

making soap
distillery
making paper
backery
making candles
beer brewery
workshops
shop/beer shop
tearoom
farm animals
picknick meadow
midgetgolf
playground

When you enter the area, you have to pay for the entrance. You can also buy a ticket to make your own bread, candle, soap and paper. For kids it is real fun to make it yourself. My nieces did it too and they liked it.

Texel is easy, go to Den-Helder with the train, on the ferry to Texel
On Texel the bike is the best way of getting around, just rent one for a day or a week, even a motorbike is nice ;o) You can rent them in several places in Den Burg, take the bus from the derry landing.

Favorite thing: Visit caffee 'Happy Days' in Den Hoorn. It is a good restaurant and in summer tourists and locals mingel and have a good time

Fondest memory: being there, on this Island, on a very stormy night, 1500 tents were blown from the Island and a lot of people stayed in the pub over night because they lost their tents.
