Knokkebrug to Nieuwpoort


Still a bit chilly and breezy today but the sun did come out from time to time.  We trundled along from Knokkebrug to Diksmuide, where we stopped for half an hour to go to the Aldi supermarket for fresh meat and veggies.  Near Diksmuide there is this beautiful thatched cottage with flowering bulbs planted along the ridge of the roof.


Then trundled on a bit more till we got to Nieuwpoort.  We have returned to the VVW Westhoek because they have free wi-fi here. Not the cheapest marina at €12 but not the most expensive either and water is included.  And if I remember correctly the laundry was quite cheap and I need to wash the sheets.
But the main aim of coming back to Nieuwpoort was to speak to the Westhoek Marina about leaving our boat in the Nieuwpoort Marina and not in the Veurne Marina.  Ian and I went there by bike, it's only a few hundred yards away, and the man in charge was quite happy to make the change. 

We were surprised at how few boats there are in the VVW Westhoek this time, compared to when we were here 10 days ago.  The visitors' marina is almost empty.
