We woke up to rain pounding and wind shaking François. Our original plans were to go to a famous tulip farm not too far away. Ton checked the weather forecast, and said the rain was supposed to stop around 1 pm. Since the tulip farm was very expensive to visit and we would have to pack up François and drive him there, we both rolled over and slept in instead.
After a nice leisurely breakfast we just chilled in François for most of the morning. The steady pounding rain eventually turned to occasional showers. Then just as predicted about 1pm the rain stopped and we saw blue skies, but if anything the wind got stronger.
After some discussion and looking at maps we decided to visit the Ikea next to the campground. We knew we could kill a good amount of time window shopping, and we have never been in one in Europe.
Well, the Ikea’s in Europe are full of the same stuff they are full of in the US. But it was fun walking thru and looking at the displays. This one seemed a little larger than the one we have in Portland. In the end we picked up a couple of little things for François, but the bill was less than €5, so it was a pretty inexpensive experience. On the way back thru the park between Ikea and the campground, we saw a few Tulips blooming, so Ton took a couple of pictures to give us a very small tulip experience for the day.
