EUROPE 2012 - Part 2 (of 4) ~ Cadzand, Sleus, and a bit of Belgium

After we packed up at the campground, we headed south to the beach town of Cadzand, which is about a 3 hour drive from Apeldoorn. We (us, Greg's parents, Greg's sisters and their families) had rented a house in this quaint little touristy town for the second week of our holiday.

We arrived to sunny skies but very cold, crisp winds. This, unfortunately, was the only time that we saw the sun during our stay in Cadzand. (...although we were told that the sun did shine again while Greg and I were in Paris...)

Gorgeous beach.

Greg and I had to make a quick trip into Brugge, Belgium to buy our train tickets to Paris. It was only about a 30 minute drive from Cadzand. Brugge is a very old city. We only saw a little bit of the city (mostly from the car window), but what we saw was completely gorgeous.

On the way back from Brugge, we stopped in town called Sleus, which is right on the Holland/Belgium border. We strolled, we found a windmill, we ate some lunch. It was nice.

The great thing about our time in Cadzand was that Ayla had the chance to spend a good chunk of time with her cousins. And she sure does love her cousins!
